DSL 0.8.2 runs on my Dual Pentium Pro very well, and the 1024 KB total level two cache gives this machine an edge. I'd like to get one of those PII boxes and see what THAT can do!
---
Seriously, we do want to know if it boots, and if it does not, how far it got, messages, etc.
---
I hate to throw a fly in the ointment, but, yes, I'm the one with three out of four boxes that 0.8.2 won't boot on. Up to DSL 8x, this question was almost never asked or considered, one could be 100% sure that it would run, if you had a decent amount of ram. My smallest box is a 200 MMX with 128 MB of ram, and DSL 0.6.2 ran perfectly.
---
I'm betting that it will run on your box, however. (Don't ask me how I would know that).

Wow,

I would love to have a multi proc board, if for no other reason but to see two Tux's on boot up. Really. No I mean it.
