I have been playing with Overclockix 3.7. I am planning to build a folding farm and want to get some experience. I tried installing it on an ancient PC - a Cyrix 6x86-P166+ that currently runs Windows 95. It has a network card (network Everywhere, Model NC100, ver 2.1) and I was thinking of setting up Linix on it so I could test the headless stuff out between a new machine I am building and this old clunker (before I buy/ build the rest of the farm).
I tried to do the CD load up, but it just kept rebooting...it never got to the place where you put in the “cheat code” even. This CD worked previously on another machine so I do not think there is anything wrong with the CD. Is this thing just too old to mess with or am I missing something obvious? Is there some other Linux that will work? If I use another version, will it teach me anything about getting two Overclockix machine to work together?
Thanks for your help!
