Other than an 2gb->10gb upgrade, it works ok with twm, firefox, but is not a speed daemon. I used a pcmcia cdrom, dos, and RH 7.1 and loadlin.exe a few years ago. Not fun.
I'd suggest: take out the 2.5" hd, get a 2.5"->3.5" adapter (less than $10 US), put it in any PC, and install woody or sarge. And report back if you can get either of these to work. This is the easiest way I can thing of. I setup plip afterwards for fun, and it worked to network between my desktop and laptop. -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |_______ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed _______|
