This is a very promising desktop for older machines which we have plenty of at school. They might take some to the warehouse to auction them off, If I can get a livecd and inject some life into them with LXDE that would be great :) Regards, Antonio BTW, I have visited the following page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChristophWickert/FedoraLite but I cannot find out the end low requirements to get this working on a system or try it out with a livecd. I run rawhide and have the livecd-tools installed. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
