Well I just got DSL running on my 133mhz P1 with 72mb of old style SIMMS, a 1mb Trident video card, and a 4x cdrom lol.

Kinda slow, but I expected it to be.
(My full time distro for it is Deli Linux. It's THE distro for really old machines - even 486s.)

DSL's real nice on my 433mhz P2 though (and Im trying to get my pal to let me try it on his old 200mhz compaq).

Deli is running off the HDD and DSL running off the CD?
Not exactly comparable!

Heh, and DeLi is a PAIN to set up.

I've been playing with it since last night.

I'd never heard of it before. ^_^

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.

Hi I am from germany and normally using SUSE/NOVELL Linux , tried DSL only because it made me curious to run completely from CD. There is a thing that really wonders me about the german (maybe all foreign lang?) keyboard. I can type certain german Letters into Pathetic Writer , but any other application would not show them. Sending myself an email and opening it under Suse later makes them reappear. This is really strange , does anyone have a solution ?
I think a wordprocessor is neccessary , the one from 9.3 isnt
good , if there would be a Word compatible Pathetic W I would even copy dsl to my old Laptop and use it permanently.
