Problems using puppy linux
My story.
I have a fleet of borderline scrapage PC's here. pentium2 pentium celeron, amdk6 e.t.c with between 64 -120MB of ram, 6-15 GB hard drives....
The plan was to dump them. BUT I had a brain wave. I planned to put a small version of linux on them and get them going for the kids to use. I work for youth services and the computers will be used to keep kids in off the streets.
I put puppy linux on one machine and am trying to put zsnes so that we can have street fighter two mariokart leagues and so on.
here is the problems. The zsnez comes down as a tar file and needs to be compiled. I found the gnu gcc compiler and downloaded that too and untarred it into /var/gcc. I can't find the gnu binaries so I can place a link in /bin .
Am I going all over the shop for no reason to acomplish something very simple??
Should I get an old version of redhat or suse that will run on these machines and that comes equipt with gcc and so on? instead of trying to patch up puppy to get this working
Please feel free to be as short/rude/longwinded as you see fit with your replies. Any advice you can give is welcome
thanks in advance guys
:-)
