I figured it out. Thanks cleverhandle for taking the time to help. It was a hardware problem. Two different types of RAM was installed. I should have noticed it before but, I didn't. It is installing now. Again, thank you.
The chip is a pentium, chipset is i430vx and the mb is a unknown brand. I wish I knew. It is a really old PC. I think the mb is of AT variety. the power switch is hard wired to the power supply. And, the keyboard connector is a fat connector not the ps/2 styled little connector.
I am trying to install Debian on a very old computer. The PC has a 200mhz chip. It boots up from the cd-rom, I see the debian logo to press f1 or enter to boot. Then, BAM, I get a error message saying "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffedfdf". Then I get a bunch of...
The mouse is fine, screen refresh is fine. It is loading to slow. It boots up pretty quick but when I am on the desktop. it runs to slow. Programs take forever to load in the system tray. I would right click on the desktop and the menu takes forever to load.
A friend of mine has a Gateway PC with a 2.7ghz Celeron with 512mb ram, on-board video and Win XP Home. I thought it was the on-board video so we switched out the 256mb that came with it and put in 512mb stick thinking that would solve the problem it didn't. He is using Anti-Vir virus scanner...
I have a quick question. This past weekend I bought C & C Generals. Took a while to get it, but. It is a good game. I just want to protect it. So I decided to TRY and make a copy of it so I can put the original away and use the copy to play the game. Like I said I tried and gave me a error...
I want to thank everyone who replied. The PC doesn't have a video card it is onboard. I was hoping it was not the mobo. I wanted to try out Debian. I tried everything. I did it with everything connected and connected every component one at a time. I even took out the ram, it is only one stick...
I have an old HP 6545c. Here are the specs.
500 mhz celeron
256mb ram
20gb 5400 RPM HD
CD-Burner
And a brand NEW power supply.
The PS that came with the PC finally went out a few months ago. I just ordered a new replacement PS from affordablesurplus.com. The new PS came in yesterday...
Like the title say's. I am looking for a specific distro that is a LiveCD. I will be carrying it around with me so it has to fit on a 210mb mini cd-r. I only know of two at the moment, those are Damn Small Linux and LNX BBC. Also, maybe allowing me to install it at a later time if I choose too...
I used a notebook for my gigs/shows. The problem I ran into was HD space. I would get everything on your list but scrap SFF. Get a rackmount case to hold the hardware.
I have already been to a lot of sites talking about linux/unix. The one that I found that was very helpful was Distro Watch. The one distro I was strongly considering was Debian.
My question is, I have an old HP with a:
Celeron 500
128mb RAM
Onboard Video/Sound
20gb HD
Win 98
I am...
Thanks for the responses guys. I do appreciate it. I just found out earlier today that the DSL line was setup for static IP addresses, which I did not know. I let you guys know how it turns out. Thx for the link JackMDS
