So i am planning to use SuSe. i just want a Linux that only hold less than 1.5 gig. if it is possible for SuSe, then give me a go!*AMEND* just surfed around SuSe in Torrent site, in LinuxTracker.org, found out they are 3.4 gig...For what i mean in SuSe less than 1.5 gig, i mean full installation (Partation) Edited October 19, 2005 by DarkestDream Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robroy Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I prefer SuSe over knoppix, it found all my hardware without any problems. I am running it on an old k6 500mh box and 8 g hd without problems. It took much less space than that to installyou can get a live version (runs from the cd) Here The page also has a link for the hd version download Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Full istall means to install all software the author included. This could be 5 word processers, 6 movie players, 3 web browsers, 4 spread sheets, 9 drawing programs. why not just pick what you want and just install that.. its as simple as check and not check..

hitest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I agree with robroy. Suse is an excellent first choice for a Linux install. I ran Suse 9.3 for a time on a Plll 500 and it ran very well. It has exceptional hardware detection and an easy to use installer called Yast.Just pop the install 1st CD in, re-boot, and the installation program will walk you through it.

And i dont have DVD burner, i only have CD<{POST_SNAPBACK}>5 GB will be plenty for a standard Suse install. The install is between 1-2 GB. Then like iccaros said you can use Yast to pick and choose what extra programs you want to install.Suse 9.3 uses 5 install CDs, but, it only uses a few files from each one. Just choose a basic desktop install and add programs later. Simple. Edit: Added later: You can always buy some pressed CDs for a few bucks if you don't have a CD burner.Buy Suse 9.3 Linux Quote Link to post Share on other sites
