Hi I just tried to install the mini-linux distibution, but when I tried 
to boot it the kernal paniced and said something about more than 16 heads 
dectected and stopped.  I think that I remembered reading that early 
versions of linux didn't like large >512MB hard drives is this it.  My 
system is a 

P100
16MB RAM
1GB HD
S3 64bit 2MB video card
Plug and Play bios
CD-ROM and ESS soundcard

based on the above what distribution should I get?  I'm thinking of 
getting Slackware 3.0.0

Thanks 
Steve
