I have an old emachine, specs below, i would like to get a version of puppy running on; I have tried numerous ubuntu distros and it won't install; Peppermint 3 will install but its not stable (crashes randomly) I have tried several puppy versions and they will not install as well - I have dozens of linux/ubuntu/other linux installs under my belt, but this one machine refuses to take linux in any form. Any advice on versions/install switches/etc would be appreciated; memtest is fine as is the install media; specs are below thanks It is an old emachine, sempron based - description: Desktop Computer version: SYS-xxxxxx width: 32 bits capabilities: smbios-2.3 dmi-2.3 smp-1.4 smp configuration: boot=normal chassis=desktop cpus=1 *-core description: Motherboard product: K8M-800M vendor: First International Computer, Inc. physical id: 0 version: PCB 2.x serial: C235A39527 *-firmware description: BIOS vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD physical id: 0 version: 6.00 PG date: 07/26/2005 size: 128KiB capacity: 448KiB capabilities: isa pci pnp apm upgrade shadowing cdboot bootselect socketedrom edd int13floppy360 int13floppy1200 int13floppy720 int13floppy2880 int5printscreen int9keyboard int14serial int17printer int10video acpi usb agp ls120boot zipboot biosbootspecification netboot *-cpu description: CPU product: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3300+ vendor: Hynix Semiconductor (Hyundai Electronics) physical id: 4 bus info: cpu@0 version: 15.12.2 slot: Socket 940 size: 2GHz capacity: 3400MHz width: 64 bits clock: 200MHz capabilities: boot fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt x86-64 3dnowext 3dnow up pni lahf_lm cpufreq |

In what way does Puppy or Peppermint crash? EDIT: if you hear a clicking sound from the system (you may need to take the case door off to hear it) then that would point to the hard drive rather strongly. It's a common thing with older computers... _________________ siht daer nac uoy fi uoy od os dna skcor yppup  |
