ok, I'm switching this old system to linux and last night tried to install Vector onto it but i think i messed up somewhere along the line.

the specs are:

Pentium Titanium I motherboard
Pentium MMX @ 100Mhz
32Mb EDORAM (maybe 64Mb soon)
3Gb Quantum Fireball HDD


any distros suitable for this, but not slackware or gentoo (Slackware is to difficult for me right now and this PC doesn't have an internet connection so gentoo is out the window)

I was thinking MAYBE Debian 3.0r2? is this a hard distro to install?

if not i might try Vector again.

Debian 3.0r2 is harder to install then Debian Sarge. Sarge is the testing release, but it is (almost) stable and much more easer to install cause it has an automatic installer. So I recomend Debian Sarge.

... thanks for that :P

and i guess i have a lot of downloading to do again...

can you give me a lnk to download Sarge??? I can't find it

EDIT: I found it, but do i need to download all 14 CD images???

No, only cd 1 is enough. You can also download the net-install cd, but then you've to download everything while installing. When you use one of these cd's set a http or ftp server as apt-source and not the cd cause then you'll have all the packages.

this PC doesn't have an internet connection of any kind at all though... i might just try 3.0r2, but if i have the time I'll download sarge.
