urs is 32 bit right?

tardy forge Feb 20, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

yes

azure olive Feb 20, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

idk, i've seen some menthods for installing linux old 32 bit bioses, but i just ended up getting some old linux installation cd's and used those lol

tardy forge Feb 20, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

so using bootable pendrive is a hassle in this situation

#

well cd i can burn, any suggestions which distro will be the best

azure olive Feb 20, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

i know gentoo has a 32 bit version

#

that's if u wanna get messy 😳

#

but debian also has a up to date 32 bit version

#

and there are less popular choices

#

although i doubt you'll get the cd to work first time, you need to do sum old bios fixes

tardy forge like testing on vmware?

Yup! Personally, I use virtualbox

azure olive Feb 20, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

yuh vb is better

woven dirge Feb 20, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

personally i'd try emulating it first cause im more experienced at that

#

virtualbox also has some special options for different operating systems

azure olive Feb 20, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

vmware

#

Better

#

(Personal opinion)
