For now, I have upgraded the machine to 4.7, but I am still interested in getting 5.0 installed... > > Machine: 150MHz Pentium, 16MB ram, 1.5Gig HD > > Well that's not much memory. 5.0 needs much more minimum memory than 4.x (oops... the machine is only a P133... :) Where are the system requirements for 5.0 listed? (I didn't find memory/HD/processor specs in the early-adopter's guide or other places...) Since PC133 is so cheap, I'm loathe to scrap around for/buy old SIMM's... > what does a dmesg from 4.3 look like?
