geden Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I'm trying to get LM 10.1 on this old pc someone gave me but it can't boot the cdrom . This old thing doesn't even see the cdrom till after boot-up . I tried to make a bootable floppy with the cd image as per Mandrake instructions but it still won't install. Its like the whole OS has to be resident to power up the cdrom. ant suggestions? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Why won't the boot floppy work? It is designed for this purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 How much ram do you have? The install program won't work with less than 64MB. With that hardware, you would probably be better off with a distro specifically designed for older hardware like damn small linux or vector linux.
