Hi I have a old PC Celeron 500 64mb RAM 40g HDD and 1.44mbFDD It is a IBM PC. I want to try other distros like Knoppix and Gentoo and they have ISO

images

or live Cds What alternatives do I have in such case and how do i go about it

Even i had same problems with my pc.i tried every thing from network install to boot floppy's,but best solution i upgraded my pc bios with the latest bios from http://www.driverguide.com/

If u want you can search for your pc bios on driverguide.com with username : drivers and password : all.My problem is solved now i have most recent bios which supports network booting,scsi booting,flash drive booting etc.

Regards Rohit Baisakhiya.

Thanks and Regards Ninad

Hi,

I want to try other distros like Knoppix and Gentoo and they have ISO images or live Cds

Almost all distro (including LiveCD like Knoppix) have option to make a bootable floppy which will mount Live CD or for normal installation
