When you do get it installed remember this, I installed 4.3-R on a P75 with
8MB RAM and a 850Mb HDD and it took me almost 4 days to compile a kernel. A
friend of mine asked why I didn't just add some more memory, well because I
wanted to see how long it would take and see if it had any problems. It
didn't and it did get more RAM in the long run.
