Right, quick update:
managed to get the swap on there with the help of a mandrake cd und put the 9.2 CD in. However, especially hardware recognition and installation selection took *forever*.
So I tried Damn Small Linux but it wouldn't boot.
Since then Sid has said that Suse 9.2 works fine on small mashines - how about your yast? Is it a question of clicking and coming back half an hour later?
And many thanks for all the offers of old distros! Much appreciated, but I need PCMCIA support for an atmal wlan chipset - not sure whether the older ones have it/I am competent enough to put it in afterwards unless it is an rpm...
Cheers

Hmmmmmm..... pretty instant, embarrassed as it takes ages to come up on this XP3000+ and the 64-bit laptop perhaps because of the amount of stuff I have running on them or may be to do with KDE. So for yast, it's the fastest box I have - using iceWM. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and Keen Flyer =====ALMOST ALL LINUX USED HERE, Solaris 10 SPARC is just for play=====
