OK i need a little help here I'm trying to install suse 6.3 on a amd k62 450mhz with 256 ram matrox mystique video card with a 8gb and 3 gb hard drives and i have no idea as to what im doing. it tells me that it needs extra perimeters when its almost ready to restart the first time when i try to install it and im lost.
any help would be great. im lookin mainly for a step by step thing. but anything will help. thankz in advance RaZaR |

College Linux - it's only one iso to download and is known for being fast on even older machines. if you're interested, you can get it here: http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=62 the only thing you need to do is create your own partitions, but that's easy, you can do that with the install cd - all you need is a swap partition that is the same size as your ram and a / root partition, then you are set, the rest of the install is supereasy, just pick the easy mode where you can. I have started a guide on it - you can access that by going to my guide below. Check out the main guide for instructions on installing too. |

Use a much newer distro. SuSE 6.2 is ancient!
