pcbsd live cd - pentium 1

[jesusmartinez]

hello, how are you ?

my name is jesus and am writing to you
from argentina.

i am looking for a freebsd livecd.
i have just downloaded fresbie, but i am not
sure if is a freebsd.org or an third-party's
implementation.

does freebsd have a live-cd ? is so, where can i
download it ?

i want to change my win98/word97 to a real os.
i use it because the machine is a pentium 1 with
32 mb ram. is there any bsd with GUI that
can run in it ?

thanks in advance,
jesus

for your machine, i'm afraid the gui that comes with pcbsd as a default would be too much... i'm referring to kde. there are other gui's, easier, but i don't know if they wold please you...

dear jesus - pentium I and 32 MB -

You might try DamnSmallLinux:

You can try it running from CD or install to hard drive

There are some other small distros, go poke around on Distrowatch:

http://distrowatch.com

its better way to you.

If you we're gonna go BSD, I'd install FreeBSD and use Blackbox or some simular Window Manager. I'm not sure how well a P1 is supported still.

DSL (Dang Small Linux) is probably a great bet, but ti's not a BSD and it's trapped to the older Linux 2.4 seris of kernels last I looked, do to the size of the newer ones.
