I am the proud owner of about 40 p-200 computers and I am toying with 
loading Peanut Linux
on them before sale.     I tried on one Compaq 4000 200MMX machine with 
32 meg of RAM
and had a tough time getting it to install.   It was kind of a 
progressive affair.    
Finally got it loaded al though Lilo still didn't load and I had it 
running once.
Now I get
Kernel Panic   Aieee,   Killing interupt handler,
Interupt handler not syncing

These machines are P-200's, 32m RAM, 2.5 gb HD.      Am I pissing in the 
wind wanting to run Linux with X windows on a machine this small?     Is 
Peanut Linux any good,   Has anyone tried it.    What are the problems 
with it.    
Is there a better small distro?      
I am trying Knoppix as I type.

Remember I sell to the public and they are to computer savy.    

I also have lots of other junk I bought in a truckload.     Need an IBM 
6000 rollaround rackmount box?
LOL
