Mulinux & Puppy

Postby pippo » Tue Feb 24, 2004 1:14 am

Hi, thanks for your work, I have 2 other links for the list:

Mulinux, a distribution designed to run in really old systems is available both as a live cd:
http://mulinux.sunsite.dk/iso.html

or as a floppy distribution:
http://mulinux.sunsite.dk/download.html

(by the way I was able to run it on an Amd 586 133 Mhz with 16 MB of ram and no hard disk, obviously without using X)

Then there is Puppy Linux, a really small live cd that loads everything in ram to be faster:
http://www.goosee.com/puppy/

Then a link with similar intentions as your list, from distrowatch:
http://www.distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=cd

Bye

Thanks, I added both of these.

As for Distrowatch, it's similar, but different. :)

>NTFS

See:

>Barking
What is the type and brand of your sound card?

Perhaps there is a conflict with video driver.
Try to use VESA driver:

Command:

xf86config

xf86cfg

OK. Puppy is great. It runs totally into ram. For this reason you do need a good amount of ram, and not only swap partition. Mainly if your computer is old. I love Puppy, but I do not recommend to use it in a computer with less than 128 Mb of ram. The cpu speed is not critical.
