I saw this mentioned on DistroWatch and downloaded the iso. I was pleasantly surprised when it loaded (a live cd) on a 486/66 with 32 MB RAM . Unfortunately it did not recognize the serial mouse on com2. I sent a message to the author dr_ashim@hotmail.com with no response. Without the mouse I could not navigate very well but it seems to be a nice distro that can run even on such ancient systems .
It would be nice if some talented person takes this under their wing and help recycle those ancients.
Regards hg. PS: how can I (computer illiterate) get this to recognize serial mouse (& comm ports). Feather Linux, very similar to this is also an orphan it seems.
