Hi there
I am new to linux so be gentle. Simply put I have the following
problem
If you are new to Linux, I would strongly suggest getting a machine with
more clout. This is really jumping in at the deep end IMO and will
frustrate you I think.
DSL is limited in MANY ways to keep it under the 50 meg limit. I
*suspect* but I don't know that the kernel modules are limited - for a
start I'm fairly sure that it still uses the 2.4 kernel. This might be
fine for you. Personally, as someone new to Linux, I think you're in for
a fun ride - but good luck regardless!
1 a Sony Vaio pcgt-505ts with 64mb ram and 4 gb harddrive
2 NO repeat NO cd rom
3 Lan connectivity
4 usb memory stick 1gb.
5 machine will NOT boot from USB
6 machine currently has win98 on it ( god help me.)
So, I've read through the various websites and can find lots of answers for
those lucky people that can boot from the memory stick or those rich enough
to own an external cdrom :-) I can't do either. Is there a simple technique
that emulates the download dsl.zip unzip to executable, run executable and
replace the dreaded win98 with DSL so I can make the switch in 2008??? I'm
all for change :-)
