These last few days I’ve trying to install Linux on my P100 computer with no luck. The computer is a Digital Multia, an old Thin Client, originally it has a 1GB HD and 16MB memory.. but recently a friend gave me some extra memory and I installed an old 3GB Quantum drive in it. The first time I got it, I installed RedHat 6.2 on it, it was fine, then later I installed Windows 98 on it (which is also running fine despite Windows’ quirks). It served the internet well as I might say.. but then I wanted a webserver with PHP, CGI and mySQL server.. so I did the upgrade. But since the upgrade I’ve not been able to install Linux on it, I tried the latest RedHat and Mandrake.. but somehow the installation always fails during while copying files, it shows some junks on the screen and then stops. I suspected the memory and ran memtest86 on it, turned out fine.. ran some disk check with Partition Magic, no problems.. Where does the problem lies then? A friend suggested that the installation alwaysfails because I have an old system and todays Linux installer are only compatible with new systems, he told me to install an old version of linux. Is this true? I cant make any sense of it.. installer are suppose to be compatible with all systems (above minimum system requirements) and I want to install the latest distro, so I dont have to upgrade, install this and that again. Any help guys on this? Thanks.
