Ah! Another one! I became M$ free last weekend! Feeelllls Gooood!!! must be nice. I just got SuSE 6.4 and have found it to be a major improvement over previous versions, still it has a ways to go. I discovered that YaST2 choked on 32 MB RAM while Windows 95 installed on an old 386 16MHz with only 8MB RAM. Last night just for fun I tried Windows 98-2 Internet Connection Sharing with Netmeeting and found it worked just fine, something which has to this day not been solved in the Linux world (except commercially or with old 2.0.x kernels).
Yeh , yast2 choked on my p150 w 32 meg ram . Use yas1 (the original yast tool) it worked like a charm , the gui front end would most likey slow the install down. Have you tried running win95 on that 386 ? Test it , then remove it and load linux on it and then you can see the diffrence. Itle even run x if you use xfceo or icewm. Thats if you ahve the time to do the install. It takes more on the 386 and 486 class boxes. But linux in text mode is very usable on them , and with lynx you can even brows the web. Lynxis a text mode browser. They bmake good firewalls, print servers and such things where gui atre not needed.
Please don't take this as flame bait. I really want to see Linux succeed. I just hate to spend so much time fixing problems found in Linux
