Guys,
After the recent discussion about arch working well on old hardware, I decided to dump a suse 10.3 install on an old AMD K6-2/450 and install arch on it. I downloaded the net install iso i686. I knew if it was truly i686 it wouldn't install -- and it didn't.
My question is which Arch download, if any, can install on this old hardware. (currently a great little fax server, backup DNS/dhcp box and 40G of storage.) Any help (or the right link) would be appreciated.
Compile it yourself then (abs is trivial) or if you are too lazy: http://vectorlinux.com/ is similar to arch (slightly more slackware biased ) and runs on i386 -- Arvid Asgaard Technologies
