Hi all, I'm looking to put Linux onto a couple of i486s with 16 and 12 MB RAM, and 420MB HDDs. I have got RH7.2 but that won't install on these machines. I'm looking for something older (maybe RH 6.0/6.2 ish), or some other distro that is suited to this type of machine. If anyone has any old discs around that they don't want I'd gladly refund postage etc... I have never used Debian, or Slackware although I'm told that they might be best for this purpose. Sorry can't make the install days, I don't live close enough by. many thanks Glen

Also, I still have some bundles of Debian 2.2 and Mandrake 8.1 and 8.2 for people who contact me off-list with their address. ;-)

Or I could always persuade people to go back to Windows *runs a long way* -- (o_ .----------------------------------------. //\ | Craig Butcher | http://www.wizball.co.uk| V_/_ | - Using Debian GNU/Linux - | `----------------------------------------'
