Thank you again Rahul for your prompt response.  I will take a look into it.  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 :)

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.
