I'm trying to install DSL to an old Compaq Presario 433. I don't have a cd drive, but have managed to figure out how to mount -o loop to get at the CD image files, created my boot floppy and extracted the KNOPPIX directory to the root of /hda1
Now when I boot the floppy, I choose "knoppix fromhd=/dev/hda1" (And yes, /dev/hda1 is where I put the KNOPPIX directory.)
It seems to start out fine, loading vmlinuz and miniroot.gz
Then I tell it to use video mode 0 and it goes on to uncompress Linux and starts trying to boot the kernel.
But then it halts. "No coprocessor found and no math emulation present. Giving up."
Am I doing something wrong, or have I just found a machine too limited for DSL? I was able to get RH5.2 onto this puppy, so I was hoping DSL would go in. :-(
