Linux problems galore.

[Jeff A.]

Okay.  I have a 164SX and a 533 chip.  I cannot, ever, get a reliable Linux
install.  It does not matter what hardware I use in the machine, AlphaBIOS
or SRM, FTP or DVD, SuSE 8.1 has bad magic errors on random packages.  You
can get the system working eventually if it doesn't damage certain things.
I got Red Hat 7.2, and it just doesn't seem to want to behave.  Fourth time
trying to install, it just crapped out when I switched CDs a minute ago.  I
had it installed once but it was wacky.  I've probably installed SuSE like
35 times.

This is just getting stupid.  What the hell?!

Windows NT works.
