Good news, Tman! It works nicely on that old laptop. I haven't put any kind of load on it, but it's acceptably peppy from what I've seen so far. It gave me the option of letting it create a swap file along with the save file at the first shutdown, so I chose to let it do that. Next boot all that was taken care of. And even from a Pristine boot, it had more RAM available than others I've tried, both old and new.Tman wrote:I haven't tested it on any system that old, so I can't be sure if it works or not. Let us know if it does, ok?
The boot modes seem to be reversed; Normal Mode gives me Pristine and vice versa. I have to be pretty heavy-hand when tapping the touchpad, though moving the cursor is smooth and easy enough. I'm very happy with Wary Tiny's performance so far. If I can find another stick of RAM for cheap I might get it, but it seems reasonably useable as-is with Wary Tiny and the swap file.
I'll let you know what I think going forward. I'm excited about it. Thanks again for your suggestion of a swap file and for putting Wary Tiny out there for us to use!
