I have been using Kanotix for the last couple of years, but I would be quite interested on a small version ( I love the hardware detection you have here...simply amazing), My request comes from : I rebuild old computers as a hobby and then give them away to people who needs them ( free as in free beer) lately I have come across a batch of old pentium 1 of 166 mhz with 128 MB of ram, I canibalized some parts and have three good ones ( 15 inch monitor, keyboard and mice), I want to install Kanotix on them, could it be possible to make a "light" version for them?
Can it be possible to install Kanotix ( regular flavor) on them?, if so, will they be slow?....the minimum requirements ask for:
Zitat:
Kanotix is optimized for the i586 architecture and therefore not appropriate for older CPUs. Your system should possess at least 128 MB of RAM but 256 MB are recommended.
Thanks for the good stuff! |

| Best get rid of the old system as long as you don't have to pay for disposal. Usually 192 MB are minium now - 128 will boot but you can not start huger apps without swap partition (you could try desktop=icewm). The hw detection is for general pcs pretty much at the same level in current distributions only specific parts have workarounds here. Most of it is done by udev alone and that is standard. |

| You can install whatever you want. But don't think I preinstall that for live usage. It does not matter how many apps are preinstalled which you don't run, as long as you don't start em they only need a bit hd space. |
