This would be slick if the base system came up pretty primitive, and only installed the stuff that was needed -- might make true legacy machines run better, as they wouldn't have extra junk in them. The question is how one would make it automated, when much of the supported legacy is things like obscure modems or network cards, and old monitors...sunburnt wrote:Same here, but I don`t use floppies, USB flash drives are too cheap these days.I still use VGA. I don't have DVI or HDMI monitors. My keyboard and mouse plug into PS2.
As said, being as hardware is loaded modules, legacy support is only as far away as installing it.
There`s lots more that`s legacy about the Linux O.S., a house cleaning is in order.
With no-install apps., utilities, and easy to install driver modules the core O.S. can be lean and clean.
One of the nice things about Puppy is that it is very newbie friendly...
