Hi Folkz, A friend of mine had this Compaq Armada 1520 D (133 MHz, 48 MB RAM 4G HD) gathering dust ..... so DSL2 must be the right way. I got pretty far ... X is running but colors are mostly garbled best option Xvesa 800x600 4 bit Style Minimal only setup that is workable.... No icons.... my plan is to make a simple IM, mail and surf unit in the living room.... (nice quiet lappy) so I would appreciate to have icons there.... Besides... on my other PC (300 MHz 96 MB) DSL2 ROCKZZZ !! PLse send suggestions to make lappy purrr Grinnalot Posted by green on Nov. 28 2005,05:23

You probably have to install the full Xfree package - I think there is a myDSL package. If you need to find out which graphics chipset your have, run the lspci command. Also, 133 MHz and 48 MB may be a bit on the (s)low side to run Firefox.

Installing additional packages requires an working internet connection. This is still a work in progress
