Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Alpha 1.14

Newt...........

Glad you tried om the low ram machines as we were not sure what the magic number would be but looks like a minimum of 256 mb is gonna be required if  you could outfit one with that minimum and try would be appreciated. The other machine with nvidia is a puzzler as nvidia normally plays nice with vesa driver. The k2 600 is in the pentium 2 class and even if you got installed would be way to slow to useable.

Thanks again,
Robert
