just in a reply to myself i tried going with mandrake7 with no luck it crashed pretty hard within 30 seconds of installation.
so i went to the bios and turned the memory down from 133mhz to 100mhz, mandrake install is about 75% complete so im betting the memory is just too shitty to run at 133mhz. even tho i love debian best, i reallyu like mandrake for things like this, real quick and easy to install and run(with tons of apps) then i can wipe the box out and install debian once im ready to get serious :) nate ::: http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4:05pm up 10 days, 1 min, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.17, 0.10 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 15:53:21 -0700 (PDT) From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian user mailinglist <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Subject: debian 2.2 on Ultra160?
