usb boot is now 7 or 8 years old, older hardware anyway don't run openSUSE.
opensSUSE runs very well on a Toughbook CF-51 MK1 (Centrino 1, 1GB RAM, ...)
I have a server running debian for 11 years, now, it have the standard amount of ram of the time: 128Mb. In these days, 1Gb was extremely expensive and if we speak of people with no money... I presently have a lot of 5 years old computer to give for free. They are PIV, sata drives, but only 512Mo ram. I *do* give them with 11.4. but they also boot very well on usb (including kde). Using kde (we speak of kde live?) of a "smaller" machine don't seems very friendly
However, this machine does refuse to boot from USB (probably an artificial BIOS limitation).
There are valid reasons to state "this hardware is too old and not longer supportable with reasonable effort". However, those should be judged thoroughly and not applied lightly. Always consider that there are users that cannot just buy a new computer in a store around the corner.
sure, I am on this side. We have to keep usable versions. But if it's to use english only stripped down kde, what interest? I cry not having digikam on the live cd!! I wont say the same for xfce or lxde cd jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
