Installing Red Hat Linux 9 on the ASUS Terminator K7

- This was quite the fun video to make - it's sorta funny how these ASUS machines have issues with USB input devices, although not surprising.
I need to get that ZIP drive working, as well.

...until you find out you cannot change the HDD without removing the PSU and the board, and that you can skew it with a finger.
Hanging on POST could have been related to the HDD plugged into the secondary drive connector on the PATA ribbon cable. The first connector at the end of the cable is for single drive, and when auto detect is enabled.
Ah, that's good to know, thanks. I tried basically every configuration I could with every valid jumper setting I could and the only thing that really remained constant was that it would hang when the zip drive was plugged into the data cable, even when it was unplugged from power.
@@europa6502 That really shouldn't happen afaik, so maybe there's a BIOS/ATA controller bug.
I can't find the info 100%. But for fun make sure it is running the AMDK7 Kernel. If the Linux is to old it won't use the full resources of the processor. I know back in the day I doubled my linux speed on a Cyrix PR233 socket 7 processor. Also the other thing I did was make sure it worked with the chip set and not using say the generic ide driver. In my case once again it double the speed of boot. Today Linux has most of the supported loaded for processor you are using during the install. Unlike the old days. apt-get :)
Red Hat Linux 9 is from back in 2003, the original AMD K7 launched in 1999.
Linux CPU support is pretty much a given if you're running anything newer than an original Pentium, but that can change over time.
Once upon a time it supported the Intel '386 and '486 cpus without any extra effort.
i like star office
I haven't ever used it but I definitely want to give it a look!
You should try running Haiku OS on it next!
Honestly that'd be fun - I've tried Haiku on a system of a similar age (My ThinkPad X40 from 2004), but this has less RAM, a VIA chipset, and an AMD processor, so it'd be a lot of things I haven't tried Haiku on before :3
That looks different.
256 GB of RAM?? Did you mean 256 MB of RAM?
Yes! Sorry about that xD
@@europa6502 I think it needs 512 or 768MB of RAM..
It seems to run just fine with 256, although a RAM upgrade could always be beneficial.
how old are you?
