bearskin Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 looking back at my posts on dec 12 I have more questions. I downloaded a file that said "live cd". it was a zip file so I unzipped it. now I have the file that says"live cd.iso" my question is what am I supposed to do with this file? I wrote this file to cd and rebooted but nothing happened. is there something else I need to do to this file? I am more confused. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bearskin Posted December 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) something called reactos. it was like 48 megs. ubuntu is like 600 megs thats why I didn't try that. I found knoppix that is like 50 megs...I'm gonna get that. oh, and I only have 128 megs ram on this computer but I was hoping to get something that would run on the junker with 32 megs ram.

The unit with 128 MB of RAM should run Knoppix just fine. Here are the specs for running Knoppix:What are the minimum system requirements? * Intel-compatible CPU (i486 or later), * 32 MB of RAM for text mode, at least 96 MB for graphics mode with KDE (at least 128 MB of RAM is recommended to use the various office products), * bootable CD-ROM drive, or a boot floppy and standard CD-ROM (IDE/ATAPI or SCSI), * standard SVGA-compatible graphics card, * serial or PS/2 standard mouse or IMPS/2-compatible USB-mouse.

jcl Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 ReactOS is a reimplementation of Windows NT. Not related to Linux. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has ReactOS been around for awhile, jcl? I'm glad Bearskin is becoming interested in Linux.later,hitest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcl Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Interesting, I've never heard of ReactOS. Has ReactOS been around for awhile, jcl?The project started in earnest in '98. It's slowly approaching compatibility with WinNT 4.0 with a bit of W2k and WinXP thrown in. Application compatibility seems to be fairly good considering its current state and there's some support for NT drivers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I run a dual boot with Ubuntu 5.10 and Win 2000 Pro, it might be fun to try ReactOS out. I haven't heard of too many live Windows CDs. Cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like windows 2000, it is good software. But, my favorite software is Linux. Linux rules:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I posting this with Puppy Linux. gonna take me a while to get everything straightened out. can´t get my printer to work yet. keybord is quirky also. be baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.for the printer you may have to install stuff (I use puppy as a server, so never tried printing.. I also work in a UNIX enviroment so I have printers shared with CUPS and LP, so no need to make anything work, as they automaticly show up as a printer on all other unix boxes..)keyboard quirk could be an old slow machine tyied with a Live CD (seee 10 X slower then installed on slow cdrom drives) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
