I would like to install a lightweight linux distro (DSL, Knoppix etc.) on an
old PC with 64 MB RAM. The PC does have a cdrom but I cannot find anything
in the the BIOS (Award bios) to make it boot from cdrom. I am not sure if
upgrading the bios (if available) can enable this feature. It does have a
3.5" floppy drive. What are possible options for me given this hardware.
Also would it realistic to run x windows on this hardware?
