Also, I did use fullscreen mode with resolutions of 1280×1024 pixels or higher.

@@rebok232 I should've probably used an upgrade version of the 9x discs so I don't have to do so in the future. And maybe upgrade to 64-bit earlier, too. I'll keep that in mind next time I attempt something like this. Thanks for the criticism.
These compilations show to me a big issue with Linux. I still haven't come across anyone doing an update run from a version that's 10yrs+ to a recent one. Because something always breaks :(
I did that at work a while ago with Ubuntu 10 or 11 to 22.04. Basically no issue: you need to redirect to the archive servers for apt to resolve packages. also the older systems didnt have a release-upgrade mechanism. so you just change the distro name in /etc/apt/sources.list to one newer, and run apt upgrade, reboot, done. in between, you need to pay attention to the many questions apt asks wether to replace config files or not, and sometimes adjust by hand after the installation to incorporate new defaults. but its doable. after ubuntu 14.04, it was really only doing do-release-upgrade multiple times.
