Installing MEPIS 3.3.1-1

Posted: 15 Jul 2005 06:17 AM PDT

I have quite an old machine ... P3 450 with 128MB RAM.

Trying to install MEPIS. CD boots OK and loads KDE although rather
slowly.
Rob,
MEPIS just put out a version called MEPIS LITE which is designed
for systems that are older and have less resources, i.e. RAM, etc.
You might take a look. Could be what you need.

You can still write on the partition because a certain percentage of
disk space is reserved for use by root. This is usually 5%, but it can
be adjusted by the tunefs command (or tune2fs or other tune*fs,
depending on the filesystem). If there is no free space after deleting
files, the deleted files are probably being kept open by some process.

couldn't load linux after installing windows XP

I tried mkdosfs, followed by lilo -b, and cp /etc/lilo.conf
/mnt/floppy/. The result was apparently successful, in that ls
showed the file, and the boot from floppy seemed to work. However
the floppy was not legible under DOS/W98, which sorta defeats the
purpose of putting extra files on there! :-(

*MAYBE*. The partition utility needs to understand that the file system on
the partition is misconfigured and undersized: that's a fairly weird
situation that only people who use bit-by-bit duplicators, such as dd, would
experience.

No they haven't.
 

It's still a good idea if you want multiple distro while using
common self compiled kernel to have /boot on its own partition so
you can easily share it.

[..]
 

There are more reasons like 'df' allowing to see at a glance were
the space is gone. With a single partition it can be quite time
consuming.
 

Only with bad planning.
 

Keep /usr/src on an own partition (LVM) once it looked like it
filled up during compiling a large packet. But since it's xfs on
top of lvm I just resized it while things were running.;)

[..]
 

Agree you can ease up things on a desktop with a single user, but
you certainly want /home and probably /usr/src or/and /usr/local
on their own partitions, so you can upgrade your distro and keep
those fs. Saves much time if you don't need to restore them from
backup, which many people don't have at all, which is a really
bad bad thing.;(

See my sig below for how to attain this on the foul google
