I had to use it to set up my 64-bit system 0710xx : |
| 12 |
Knoppix didn't have a 64-bit kernel |
| 13 |
& SystemRescue couldn't connect to my ADSL Internet line. |
| 14 |
I installed by hand following the steps in the manual with a few tweaks |
| 15 |
for my own personal needs. I didn't like the Gnome desktop on the CD |
| 16 |
& wondered why it doesn't use eg Fluxbox, but that's personal taste (smile). |
