I have an old computer I'm trying to salvage, but I don't know what to use. It only has 128MB and 100MHz on it. I'd like to use Puppy/Linux as a live CD, but I don't know where or how to. |

For an old PC, Puppy 214X could be a choice. There are 2 versions. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=42553 You should create a swap- partition also on the hard-disk , with GParted.

Is that 100mhz the ram speed or the speed of the cpu? _________________ Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram. Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram. Full installs |

Another regular on this forum (looseSCREWorTWO) uses a simple rule of thumb for swap: RAM + swap = 512MB So in your case, that would be a 384MB of swap. rjbrewer wrote:
Good catch! The RAM (or bus) speed is typically lower than the processor (cpu) speed. The cpu speed is what's relevant here. Edited_times_total |

Try this http://minipc.org/pup/minipup2.02R-OC-28Apr07.iso (It has no Flash) Or you can check out http://minipc.org/pup/ for version with Flash. _________________ Puppy user since Oct 2004. Want FreeOffice? Get the sfs (English only). |

I forgot to ask this before: Is it possible for you to add more RAM? |

The processor is 1GHz, 100FSB. The memory/ram is 128mb, and the memory speed is 100MHz. |

Almost any puppy will run on a 1GHz processor. The RAM is the big issue, IMO. I've had pretty much every official version up to 4.2.1 running on slower processors with 128MB of RAM, but the best response has been with the 2 and 3 series pups at that level. If it were me, I'd upgrade the RAM to at least 256MB and run either 214X (I'm biased, but its great) or 4.3.1. If you can't get or upgrade the RAM, I'd definitely go with something a little lighter. There are a lot of choices out there for that... it would depend on what you want to use the machine for. What will you be doing with it?
