I have an old laptop (AMD K6 400MHz) that refuses to install Fedora 8.
I had no trouble installing Fedora 7 on a K6-2 500 that I have here.
I've tried Live KDE CD - that failed to boot because it's for i686 only.
At least it says the CPU is incompatible...
Yes, the K6 is a 586 compatible CPU, not a 686....
I've also tried the i386 DVD - it fails around the beginning of the
install process with a generic message that something went wrong - and
doesn't install.
I didn't have this problem with F7. It installed for me.
Is this something that happens a lot?
I don't know, that system isn't running right now, I'd have to put it
back together and try with something later....
Knoppix 5.11 live CD booted up just fine (although really slow :)
Going to try latest Ubuntu now...
Just to let you know, your system will make a piss poor graphical system
(too slow) with the current environments. You'd really have to dig
around to find a light-weight one that works. Its probably OK for
command line stuff though.
DSL should run fine, and I suspect that Puppy would work well
if he's got enough RAM.
