I'm in the process of trying to setup a box for my workshop, mainly as a jukebox, but also for a little surfing if needed.
Basically, it's an old P2 setup, with 192mb ram - a Siemens motherboard if I recall correctly. I've tried to install Xubuntu, and Fluxbuntu, but each time, I reach 83% of "installing the base system", and eventually all disc activity ceases, then after a further 10 minutes the system just shuts down!
I've tried different media (the discs are good, as they've installed on other boxes), different hard drives, and even different ram, but it all ends the same way. The rom drive has been in another system, and did a complete Xubuntu install perfectly.
The main reason I'm persevering with this is because it's the only system I have with an ISA socket, which I need to run the dedicated video card for my keycorp 10" lcd monitor.(Unless this is the problem!)
I've successfully installed puppy 3.01, but would really like to get one of the 'buntus working, as I'm now familiar with some of the great software in the repos.
Thanks, Heyho.
