The machine has 256mb of ram. Someone here on the list suggested that
I check and make sure that a swap partition had been created during the
install. I would have to re-install fedora to know for sure. I might try
re-installing Fedora on the weekend, and set the partitions manually,
instead auto like I normally do. In order to give you a better
description of how the machine acts when I try and run Fedora on it, I'm
sure most of you have encountered a windows based machine that's
infested with viruses and spyware. You know how when you go to minimize
a program on an infested pc, the window will slowly scroll down the
screen? That's a good description on how the machine acts. To me, it
acts like it's bogged down.
Hope this helps.
I couldn't install FC6 on a PIII with 256mb of ram either. I did manage
to install FC5 using command line install, but it's pretty slow and yes,
swap is enabled. Ric
I managed it on my Compaq Evo N400c (PIII 256meg ram) on Monday. Ran fine,
but Desktop effects didn't work ;)
