1 Hello,
2
3 I have an old AMD-K6 200MHz system with 196 M of ram that I'd like
4 to make it into a DNS primary server. I've tried the x86 livedCD 2006.1
5 to install, but after trying to load the image, it just reboots.
6 I ran memtests for a very long period of time and the ram looks fine.
7 Indeed Knoppix 5.0 boots very slowly, but just fine and runs a full
8 gnome interface, slowly but correctly, so I know the Ram/cpu is fine.

10 What's the best install CD to use to get this k6-200MHz machine installed?
11 It will not be running X so maybe an older minimal CD is more friendly to old
12 amd K6? maybe the x86 2006.1 liveCD is not the best choice?
13
14 Suggestions are most welcome.
