I'm not very knowelegable yet about linux, but i
tried to instal fedora2 with no success on an old compaq. the installation
stopped at a different place every time. I also tried installing
knoppix. It runs fine from the cd, even the printer and
internet. But the konsole shows read write error for all entries as the
installation progresses. Once the installation worked, but there were some parts
that didn't function. I thought there might be something on the compaq
hard drive that would be intended as a requirement for reinstalling the original
OS. So I tried a 2G old hard drive. I didn't have enough space for
knoppix, but I tried a small installation of fedora2. Just x and graphical
internet selected. It went through without any problem, but on rebooting, the
computer said no OS found. I ran knoppix and there is about 1.84G of data on the
disk.
Part 1-ext3, active,10.73mb used, part
2-ext3, not active, 1.36G, part 3-linux swap, 0mb.
Any ideas, what might
work?
