Hi everyone,
I recently ordered a CD-ROM for OpenLinux Lite 1.2 installation. I am just
going to use it to learn more about the Linux and wish to install it on a
AMD-K6, 233 MHz machine which has Windows95.
I have following questions:
1. Is it compatible with an AMD-K6?
2. Is it compatible with Windows95?
3. Can I have both the Operating Systems going on the same machine?
4. Can anyone guide me about steps I need to follow? at least a documentation
which I could refer to?
5. Any other suggestions?
I have no background in computers and info in a very simple language will
be appreciated.
Thank you very much for your response.
Samir Bhagwat
