Hi,
I have an old Pentium machine with 64MB RAM that I planned to install
Gentoo.
I download Gentoo x86 minimal ISO and burn it to disk. The disk was able to
boot, but not able to give the command prompt, with error "cp: write error:
No space left on device" during copying to tempfs
This symptom
Hi
I think that any of the live CDs are going to give you problems with 64MB
RAM. I think the minimal ISO is a live CD that allows you to install Gentoo
from there. You can try installing another distro on the harddrive and then
installing gentoo using that distro.
Compiling Gentoo on such an old
Hi Dirk,
Yes I noticed that. Most websites that I search for did not recommend
running Linux live-cd on 64MB RAM.
Looks like to have to search for distro that is tailored for embedded
system.
Thanks.

Hi. I have a Nvidia GeFORCE 8400 gs and when I am using the text
console and frame buffer (uvesafb) things are OK, but when I start gdm,
the monitor acts as though it was disconnected altogether. It works
under Windows through a KVM, so I am pretty sure the monitor is OK, but
I don't understand w

Hi all,
I just finished a new (RAID1) installation and most if it is working just
fine.
However, I don't have any drive device files in /dev/. I'd expect to see
hda, hdb,md{1-3}
The only error I get on boot is where fsck can't open /dev/md3. Then the
system boots up just fine. /proc/mdstat te
G'day,
ISO-8859-1 uses byte values 0xC0 to 0xFF for European accented
characters (amongst otherss).
I have a binary file whose bytes have values 0xC0 to 0xFF. Emacs is
presently displaying them as octal, i.e. \300\301\302\303 etc.
How do I get emacs to display them as accented characters?
