Nope. Haven't seen it referenced anywhere during setup or configuration.
Not to step on toes..
But what exactly are the specifications of the BOX..
Brand and model of MoBo, CPU, RAM, Video Card, Network card..
could be you trying to load the oS with GUI on an old pentium 166 with 16MB RAM.. but then I am as noob as you when it come to *nix
It's not really an up-to-date box, but it runs smoothly.
1.4 Ghz Intel Celeron
20 Gb HDD
256 Mb RAM
10/100 Ethernet card
Not sure on the video card (the pc came with no documentation), but the PC came with WinXP and ran 3d acceleration graphics pretty smoothly, so I'd guess anywhere from 32-64 Vid-RAM w/ 3d support.
Not sure on the MoBo either, but the PC is a completely stripped box (I'd guess it was made to be a client), it's a Compaq Evo and has no internal drives (no floppy, cd, ect.. everything is external connected to USB).
Knowing is half the battle (TM)
:p Well, I successfully installed Slackware after screwing with it awhile, and read the full manual (most reading I've done in awhile. ^_^)
When I load the KDE using startx, all I get is a bunch of colored lines (great!). lol
The packages that failed to install were:
aspell-en-0.51_0-noarch-1.tgz
(something with ALSA in it, hit the keyboard when I was reaching for paper, lol)
db3-3.3.11-i486-4.tgz
db31-3.1.17-i486-1.tgz
db4-4.2.52-i46-2.tgz
expat-1.95.7-i486-1.tgz
gdbm-1.8.3-i486-3.tgz
gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-i486-1.tgz
glib2-2.4.2-i486-1.tgz
glibc-2.3.2-i486-6.tgz
glibc-i18n-2.3.2-noarch-6.tgz
I didn't see a 'required' tag attached to any of them, but some got the 'error' popup before I could read the tag.
I swear I'm so n00bly at this, argh! Windows was spoiling me. x_x
EDIT:
And as for the secondary PC, it was a "gift" from a friend (it broke so she was throwing it out) and I have no documentation on it, alot seems to be generic integrated hardware, sadly.
Have you looked in "/var/log/messages". It might have the errors of what is not working correctly. Do you still have windows on this box? If you do, check out what video card you have.
Nope, the box had nothing on it when I got it.. or I formatted before looking anyways.
The box is currently running Slackware 10 smoothly, I had to write some of the xorg.conf file manually and setup eth0.. no problems since. :D
Screwing up is a great learning experience. ^_^
Thanks all for the help, btw Gore and devpon. ;)
