Which USB pendrive image to install Slackware on an old AMD K6 3D ?
Holla,
I have been trying to install a recent distro, with a minimum X such as jwm, but unfortunately my cdrom is broken and I can only boot the USB port, with a pendrive.
AMD K6 3D is today too old for being for linux.
Is there an image of slackware than runs that processor and that can install Linux?
best wishes
