For example, let's say a machine has an AMD K5 at 397 MHz +with 64 MB RAM, a 20 GB hard drive, non-bootable CD-ROM, 3.5 & 5.25 inch +diskettes, parallel and serial ports, but no net card, no USB, and no +wireless. Video card is by Matrox, has 4 MB RAM, and drives a 17-inch +Nanao. A modem and a standard residential phone line are available. +Windows 98 Second Edition currently controls the machine; the hard drive +has only one partition which uses all of its available space. + +Can Mageia be installed and used on this machine? Is there a truly +minimal install (maybe a smaller kernel, and fewer files) with which an +installation and local operations may be accomplished? Setup, +communications, and basic operating instructions without X-windows, +whether for troubleshooting and recovery, or for normal operations, +appears to be a useful category of instruction. + + +Ken +</PRE> + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="009170.html">[Mageia-discuss] Help texts for Beginner in Mageia Wiki, in English +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="009171.html">[Mageia-discuss] Local custom repo - "Advisory/Upgrade notice" question +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#9215">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#9215">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#9215">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#9215">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
