Subject: Small bootable distro with Ktouch?
I don't know about it having KTouch but DamnSmallLinux might work well for
you.

~ Hi all -
~
~ My daughter's school has a number of donated IBM 600E laptops with 32M RAM
~ that are used in her class to help teach typing. Only one problem -- they
~ aren't turned on when the kids are using them. Obviously this is a
pathetic ~ arrangement only slightly better than the kids using paper
keyboards... ~
~ Anyway, they gave me one to check and see if there would be any possibility
of ~ getting them working. Happily I have a compatible power supply -- the
school ~ doesn't have any, but that's a different issue. When I plugged it
in the ~ machine booted up to Win98 and explorer promptly crashed. Well
that just gave ~ me an excuse to run Linux, which is what I was thinking
anyway :-) ~
~ So I put in my Knoppix 3.2 disk and she booted right up -- after 10 minutes
~ :-( And unfortunately, it doesn't include KTouch which is the main program
~ I'd like to show them. So...
~
~ I'm looking for advice on a small, bootable distribution that might include
~ KTouch. A second option would be for me to get permission to wipe the
drive ~ and install Linux, but I'm guessing I still might need something
stripped down ~ to work well on this machine -- so any suggestions on this
would be ~ appreciated as well. DamnSmallLinux
(http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/) looks ~ like it might be a good place to
start, but I was hoping not to tinker too much... ~
~ Thx,
~
~ Jeff
