After running the installation all night, the system is up and running Ubuntu 7.10 desktop. On login it said something about being unable to start the Gnome Settings . .. something. Didn’t write it down. Too lazy. Will fix it later.
It detects the network card, which is good. It doesn’t detect the sound card, which is almost bad. Just more stuph to have fun fixing!
The machine has somewhere around 190MB of RAM. An odd number, to say the least. Top says it’s 190944k, but that doesn’t come out to anything even. (186.46875 MB? Weird shared RAM amount?) It takes about 20 seconds to bring up a terminal. I think the hard drive is failing .. . or just slow as molasses. Could be because the memory load is somewhere around 98%. Maybe I can find some more RAM and a faster Hard Drive for free laying around somewheres.
EDIT: Ripped open the machine: it has 1x 128MB PC100 SODIMM and 1x 32MB PC100 SODIMM. With 32MB onboard we get 192. Close enough for me.
