I installed it in a qemu session. The ISO downloaded is an installer, not a "live CD".
!. The installation is finicky and I doubt any first time user will get it right. Instead of offering to make partions, it says "run cfdisk". I did it and made a linux and swap partition on one disk image. Cool. This works. Then proceded with deliinstall. One chooses one (count 'em) keyboard and later one and only one language. The thing will make your swap after warning you that this is dangerous if swap is active. Do it anyway. It offers three ways to run lilo. Using its default simple method is adequate. It now asks where to put the mbr. After accepting its default, I actually fixed it by using a virtual knoppix session on the disk image file and put the mbr where it belongs using fdisk. 2. Made a virtualbox vdi using its conversion tool. The iso and this file as well hung the system on boot. Virtualbox has a weakness of not emulating a known video device. In this case, this is fatal. 3. The fixed up disk image will boot nicely in qemu. Run delisetup. Either choice of windowmanger yields the "failsafe" X with a vterm and blank gray screen. Ran abiword. Could not resize the window. Got stuck in its help. Alt control/D out. A beginning user with his/her 166mhz Pentium-antique will not be able to figure out how to get the beautiful screenshots on the site and how to correctly shutdown the system. 4, OK, will run nicely with a little resources. But needs more UI work to be really practical. 5. Only provides added software from its CD. Weakness. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
