debian 2.2 on Ultra160? (fwd)
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 :)

I just got a brand new box today and am having a hellva time
installing(actually given up for now gonna try another distribution to see
if its debian or not)
the machine has crashed about 6-7 times so far during installation and the
most recent crash caused about 50 billion screwed up files to be dumped
into /lost+found. the only hardware in the system that i have not used
before is the HDD and the scsi controller.
the box is:
Asus CUV4X (VIA apollo pro 133a)
Intel P3-733EB
256MB ram
Adaptec 29160N Bios 2.57.2
1 x IBM DPSS-309170N Ultra160 HD
1 x Toshiba XM-6702B
for now im gonna try to see if mandrake 7.1 can go on there..
if anyone has any ideas plz lemme know!! thanks..
