Over these past 2 months(or a bit less) I have been downloading and trying LOTS of Linux distros(about 15-20).None of them worked,sadly for me.Then I ran into DSL and when I saw on the site that its only 50MB and runz on Pentium 300Mhz and 32MB I was like "yay!Finally!".

Then I put my DSL CD in my drive and boot from it and it doesn't work.Now,Wwhen I press enter at boot a blank screen appears and the "caps lock" and 'scroll lock" LED begin to flash.Nothing happens een if you wait. So I try to make the "lowram" command.Everything was fine until before it loaded. It showed something like I/O Fatal Error etc...

Then I tried the fluxbox command.Still it loads and the nwhen it comes to 'Ready."(the third line it shows you after pressing enter) it freezes.

I am bored now and i am almsot going to cry(not really but I am sad). If DSL won't, I will not bother trying to find other Linux distros that will work on my pentium.Thats it,there will e no Linux for me.

Code Sample

My system:
Pentium II 356Mhx(not sure but its something like that.I am sure its 320Mhz + tough)
128MB RAM
and an IGS 1680_A graphics card.
