Fixing ‘tings
Yesterday I thought it would be a good excercise to gather up all the old peices of computers that we have lying around and build a little linux box but oh no! After I finally managed to get the correct jumper settings for the 10.2gb hard drive (guess work) I then find that the machine won’t boot from cd. Grrr. It’s some old motherboard that I only have a model number for and a Cyrix II 150Mhz proccessor. I’m not even sure it’ll take linux yet, it would be nice to be able to get that far!
I’ve decide to try DSL as it looks like it might be light weight enough for the 64mb of ram this thing has!!! I’m going to try and replace the cd drive to see if that will help it boot from cd and if that doesn’t work then it’s time to start thinking about destruction… I’ll let you all know how it goes.
