arctic Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Welcome aboard :) Burn a CD from the iso image, boot it up and, once logged in, click the "install to harddisk" button on the desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Okay, first of all: relax. Then post your hardware specs please. We need some information on the computer setup, otherwise no one can help you to fix the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Will a KDE liveCD run on a box with 128MB RAM? I highly doubt it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Will a KDE liveCD run on a box with 128MB RAM? I highly doubt it...AFAIK, it will not run on it. Better get a lightweight distro with e.g. xfce4, e17 or fluxbox as windowmanager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
