Hi,
I have looking a Linux distro which will work on my ancient laptop. I've make some research and here I'm with shiny loram v4.0 image. ;)
My laptop is junk with Pentium III 700MHz, 64MB RAM and 10GB IDE HDD. Have broken ODD and cannot boot from USB from any type of device (but I have two USB 1.1 port). So, the problem is that I have working only boot from FDD and HDD (I have made converter from 40pin to 20pin ATA, so I can connect to other computer which I have if needed).
Reading guide's and faq's I'm a little lost. I want install Slitaz pernament on my HDD (no live cd/usb) to boot it in future from it, and of course to write on it changes (cfg files, my files etc). I really want avoid swaping tons of floopy disks.
What should I do? I was think about two solutions, something like this:
1.)
a. Making i.e two partitions on HDD and on sda2 droping unpacked iso.
b. Booting GRUB from floppy disc and launch distro on sda2.
c. After booting Slitaz livecd from sda2, installing it on sda1.
2.)
a. Installing Slitaz on this HDD on different computer.
b. Attach it to my laptop and having looooong evening fighting with drivers. ;)
How can I achieve this (i.e option no.1, if this is possible of course)?
Sorry for my broken English.
