I would like to find a way to run DSL on several old Pentium 1 (PI)
computers.
I downloaded a bootfloppy.img file for DSL and then created a boot
floppy disk. When I run the disk, it seems to load OK to a point and
then it fails with the message:
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press Reset Button To Quit
knoppix#
Is there a DSL boot floppy that will run on these old Pentium 1
computers where all the needed files and folders are already on the
floppy? I created the boot floppy on a computer running the Linux
distribution Edubuntu Version 6.06 LTS.
The Pentium 1 machines that we want to boot into DSL will have no
operating system on the hard drive.
Thanks, Jim
