Installing a Linux distro with Windows ME
I am trying to add Jolicloud 1.1 to my Dell Dimension 8100 (256 mb RAM, 36 GB hard drive, Windows ME, Pheonix A09 BIOS).
I will primarily be using it for internet browsing. My problem is that I can't get either a live CD or USB to load and the installer requires Windows XP.
I started out with A06 BIOS and the live CD was not working (either giving an error message or loading a screen of multi colored flashing symbols). I updated the BIOS and now it is not loading the live CD at all and just booting Windows.
I am indifferent about having Windows on this computer at all so if there is an easier way to get a Linux distro on this computer that is fine I just don't know how I would do that.
