Maybe I'm just asking too much, but I wondered whether it would be
possible to put a user-friendly distro onto a system with a celeron 300
and 128MB ram.  I thought the best thing to do was to boot knoppix, but
it simply moved on to the hdd, bypassing the cdrom.  SUSE LiveEval did
the same.  MEPIS started up OK, but then said

Looking for MEPIS Linux....
Can't startup filesystem
Halting

Can anyone tell me what is happening?  It does seem extremely strange.
