I'll second the vote for antiX as a recovery CD. Runs quite nicely on a 1GHz Intel with 512MB of RAM from the CDROM. Should be acceptable with even less RAM. ---------- Todd Young ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Rieff" <trieff at greencaremankato.com> To: "TCLUG" <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 3, 2010 8:33:00 AM Subject: [tclug-list] Ubuntu Live CD Fails TCLUG, I have a win 2000 pc in our office that seems to have issues. So no problem, I will just backup the files and reload with xp. Well it is currently very flakey with the current os, so I dropped a ubuntu 9.04, 9.1, 10.04 live cds in and thought I would save the files that way. Ubuntu live cd won't load. I have tried many different things, including the video card corrections, but it stops at "checking 'hlt' instruction..." Maybe the hard drive is bad, but it should load a live cd??? Maybe the motherboard or cpu is bad, how do I tell or test??? Any thoughts???
