[NTLUG:Discuss] That darn Virge/GX

[G S]

The computer came with a 2.3 Gig HD, 32 meg RAM.     I installed an 8.4 
Gig HD and more RAM to 128M RAM.
It has a Virge/GX Video card with 2Meg vidmem.    No, there never was a 
working Linux system on it.
Tried to install Mandrake, Peanut and Vector.   Tried to use Knoppix 
from the CDROM.     No luck.
Read my orginal message for  my current problems.
