Peanut Linux install problem - the sequel
 

I just got out of the first trouble I had myself. I should have known I had to put the files I downloaded in a directory c:\peanut and not in c:\peanut linux or whatever.
So I managed to get the peanut installer at work.
But now I'm running into the next problem : after de setup-program has completed (it says "100%" - so I guess this means "complete", right?) nothing happens. I waited 5 minutes, 10 minutes, half an hour... nothing! In the mean time I can type whatever I want, but nothing happens. Rebooting is the only thing I can do. And guess what happens then??? Right, I'm thrown back into my good old Win98.
Anybody out there who has ever succesfully installed Peanut Linux???:cry:

is your hardware too old?

peanut boots by going in the directory and running
the .bat file there, if i remember correctly. so you
restart in msdos mode, or start command prompt only,
and cd\peanut, and run whatever bat file is there.

To loke137:
Indeed, my hardware is old... That's why I want to install linux on it. But TOO old? I don't think so. It's a Siemens-Nixdorf Scenic 500 Mobile (Pentium 75 with 4GB harddisk and 40MB RAM) but unfortunately without CD-ROM. I have a network card in it, which works perfect, but I never succeeded in doing a network installation using NFS. That's why I looked for a distro which wasn't too big to do a "harddisk install".

To whansard:
Yes, that's exactly what I did. But as I said : everything goes right untill the progress bar reaches 100%. Then it's finished and nothing happens any more!

its possible to copy the knoppix cdrom into a directory
called knoppix and boot it in there, if you want to
try a different distribution.
if you make a knoppix boot floppy, it will find the stuff there,
or you can make a custom boot.bat
