I was wanting to install puppy 4.11 to an older pc pentium 3, 600 mgtz, 512 RAM but pup always hangs in the boot process at - disableing IRQ #10.


I sure wish it would run on that old PC. I would pull my hair out but I don't have any.

boot puppy4.11 in an older machine

I have an older 600 meg pc that required two floppy disks to load the windows 98 from cd. Absolutely nothing with linux inscribed on it will boot. Does anyone have any suggestions? I ha...

HP 8100 cdwriter

Has anyone had any luck getting an Hewlett Packard 8100 cd-writer working with linux? I know it works because I just burned a disk in it in an 01 600 meg machine running xp prof.

wuppy: Again, this is just my experience, but I've multibooted and livecd'ed for years on a variety of things..but in my opinion, there doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule, barring the fact that, if you have an OS that mounts stuff you don't want mounted, then you can't use that. 8) So it seems...

Re: Is multibooting like running a live cd?

I was wondering when you install a live cd or boot its iso, is that pretty much the same thing as running the live cd?? Alll the other HDs or visible but not mounted. I guess what I'm really trying to say is when your multibooting is the rest of your system the same as when you boot from a live cd?...
