Linux on old laptop

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 445CDX laptop with 16MB of ram, a Pentium
MMX 133 Mhz processor, and a 1.4GB hard drive.
First, is it feasible to run linux on this machine?

Second, how much in the way of FC can I use? I cannot use anaconda, because it
does not let you continue with only 16MB. I would, however, like to use rpm,
especially fedora SRPMs that I can compile on my faster desktop with FC2.

It seems to be an uphill battle, as knoppix is hard to get working and doesn't
seem to realize that the screen is only 800x600.

Any help in installing linux would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
