Well, gee. You're asking this stupid question in the Slackware
newsgroup.... what do you think we'll suggest?

SRY. Slackware, OK. But what version ?? for P3 1GHz // 512MB // ~9GB
SCSI ??

Well, the latest version of Slackware is 11.0. I'd suggest that.

I would guess it will run out of the box, but you will need to tell the
installer to use scsi, as the default is ide. I believe that when booting
the install disk, you have some options: F2 and F3. You will find a scsi
setup on F3. I use scsi here myself. The default kernel is 2.4.33.3,
which will work: I'm running that on this box even as I type.

If you have problems getting started, speak up: you'll get chaff and help.

"don't run" how? Does it fail to boot? If so, there are numerous 'cheat
codes', one of which will probably make it work. If you're having
difficulty with Knoppix, you're likely to have issues with whatever you
try.

Don't work ....
Error is " Can't find knoppix file system....." or think ....

What is giving you this error? slackware? knoppix?

You'll have to format (fdisk) your scsi disk before installing slackware...
There should be some readmes on the install disk.

?

I've seen that on older systems when trying Knoppix-5.1. Slackware runs
fine on them, though. I had one where I would "boot" the system from
the Knoppix cd in one CD drive, then while it was performing its
preparations and other grooming, I would switch the CD to a different CD
drive (machine has two CD drives), where it would indeed find the
Knoppix root file system and carry on its merry way. It's an ugly hack,
of course.

Try an older version of Knoppix if you really want to see Linux running
on this system before biting the bullet and installing Slackware, or
just dive in and install Slackware (make sure you boot the installation
CD with an appropriately configured kernel for your SCSI controller;
check the documentation first). You'll be fine.

You might try some other Live CDs, or you might have a look at the 'cheat
codes' listed on the Knoppix home page - there would be a decent chance
that one of them might work.
