Ah, just tried on a barebones I got from Ditol, oh 6 to 12
months back, and it does work on it. Since I keep tossing stuff
together the tests have to come after the fact of a computer being built
I do have an old store-bought Packard Bell, and I'm going to give it a
spin on it, and see if it flies. Anyway, it's good to know I have a good
CD and can play around with this distro.
Anyway, you have a good idea for testing out computers that
you might want to buy. ---Jim
