A Blast from the Past

Well I was cleaning out my computer stuff and found it. My first store bought Mandrake 6.0. It started me on my Linux movement.

 

I decided to grab some old parts and build and computer. Built a 486 DX4/100 with 3gb hd and 64mb ram. no sound, or network (no PCI just ISA baby!!). Installed MDK6.0. Ah yes the good old days...

 

KDE 1.1.1

GNOME

kernel 2.2.9-19mdk

ext2 (yea that old)

gimp 1.0.4

kpackage 1.3

netscape 4.6

kfm (no konqueror)

 

no urpmi here (dependency hell)

 

Its been fun so far hacking around with the old system. I must say its very "touchy" compared to todays Mandy. I had to format a floppy with ext2 cause it coukld not write to vfat.

 

How many of you remember:

 

boot to a dos disk

cd dosutils

autoboot

 

just to get the installation started!! :cheesy:
