Hey, I found an old computer I decided to just erase and use to try and figure out DSL. I am completely new to linuc, Iv'e never actually used it for long periods of time or anything. It's and old NEC Pentium 166MHz with 64 Megs or Ram. When I use the boot floppy and the DSL iso it loads up until just after the myDSL apps and then I get this different errors like:

Auto configurations

Modprobe

FreadMagic: Input/ Output Error

Checking for myDSL apps...Done
INIT:PANIC:Segmentation Violation at 0x804e19a! Sleeping for 30 seconds

Thanks

Your computer is too slow. DSL requires at least a 200Mhz processor.

Not True! I used DSL on my 133MHz Dell succcessfully with 32 M of RAM. Could this be a memory fault?
