Has anyone successfully installed on this model?
It has a P166 Mhz MMX processor with 2Gb of HDD
When attempting a low-spec video loads it gets as far as [14.749072] and freezes.
The preceding message is "[14.749023] Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes..."
The version on the CD is Ubuntu 8.
As a newbie, I always understood that one of the great redeeming features of Linux is that it could make old machines usable again and avoid the dustbin - and it would be really great to get this one running again!
Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated.
