I'm trying to install *nix on an old Gateway2000 120MHz Pentium. Most of the discs (debian 3.1, ubuntu 5.10, phlak, solaris 10, freebsd 5.1, suse 9.0, openbsd, netbsd 1.6.2) I have won't boot on it, giving an Isolinux error (I forget exactly what the error was - it's at home and I'm at work). PHLAK (I forget the version) boots, but locks up with a black screen after it starts X. I'm guessing it boots because it uses Syslinux instead of Isolinux, but I don't know if that's true. netbsd 1.6.2 also boots, and I installed that last night, but I hate the default twm window manager, I don't know how netbsd handles packages (I'm thinking of things like deb or rpm packages), I don't know my way around netbsd, this is an old version of netbsd, and netbsd is probably the wrong choice for what I want to do, anyway. I want to see if I can turn this heap into a useful web browser and email reader (well, web-mail could take care of email chores). Some basic office apps would be nice, too. So, if I'm right that this old hardware is incompatible with Isolinux, what are my options? Thanks! -- Rich
