problem installing linux

[megah0]

I have tried and tried

Knoppix
Mandrake 9.1
Ark linux

machine spec is:

K6 333
150mb ram
Very old mobo
5gb hard drive

It wont install on any of the above.

getting very bored with linux very quickly

weird - do you get error messages? what happens when you try and install, what stage does it stop at.

what graphics card do you have?

have you tried redhat 8/9?

[megah0]

Knoppix crashes on the desktop on all the desktop managers.

Arklinux fals to initilise the installer

Mandrake enters 2nd stage install and hangs

[megah0]

stuff it, my affair with linux is at an end.

gone back to windoze

Weird motherboard is probably root of prob - most of the k6-2 supporting boards were a bit odd at best.

Should try Open or Free BSD. Open BSD's supposed to work on just about anything & will run Linux apps.

i have a machine that always crashes when installing windows, no matter what version, however debian installs fine and flawlessly.
i would agree with 0id's comment about bsd, but then again it's presumed you know more if you're installing bsd... same for debian/gentoo too i'd guess.

don't give up yet!
