:D
Perfect then. It does seem like we must draw a line between pre-Pentium (for console) and Pentium+ (basic X and a quick/clean Window Manager).
Can someone confirm this ? (especially the part about MDK 9.0 not able to install on a 386/486)
Now, let's say I try to rephrase my original question : how would one go about installing the bare minimum (yes, "à la" Slackware, but the Mandrake way), instead of trying to "remove" or shutdown services afterwards ?
... and, to spice things up, I've found an actual box : in my case, this would be a Pentium 120, 24MB RAM, 800MB hard drive, 2Meg Video card (SVGA 16bit color), CD-ROM, no network, a 56k modem (not a winmodem), PS/2 Keyboard & Mouse... and not much else.
Again, all I'm looking for is a GUI based system running a Web and File Browser, email, word processing and text editor...
Any pointers ? Links ?
Heck, that P120 machine I dusted off runs an old Win98SE license with IE 5.5 (slow but good enough to do the job; that's how I know the hardware works fine...); however, I need to wipe it off (no more Microsoft in my house, sorry, can't pay the "Bill"...) :wink:
I just can't think that Mandrake wouldn't have a solution for me !

P.S. I've had experience with IceWM on my main machine, and I'm going to try out Fluxbox (I just keep reading good words about it...) so I'ld like to stick with something similar... but I'm always opened for suggestions.
