A while ago I said I wanted to try a laptop challenge. Well I got a desktop instead....from 2002.... :)
I'm trying to install Linux (Crunchbang) and its not having it. It works flawlessly in the BIOS, but as soon as I try to install an os it crashes or gives no video output.
Its not overtaxed as Crunchbang is designed for extremely low power computers like this one.

Anyone have any ideas why it could be screwing up? (I k ow you have little info, but any ideas would help)

Its a Dell Latitude, not sure what model, it doesn't say and the BIOS doesn't seem to have that info

Puppy Linux wins so far.
