I already have tried the regular live cd option for Ubuntu and it did not work on my laptop because my laptop apparently does not have enough RAM to run it. I think the RAM is like 256. I’m going to be trying edubuntu and kubuntu next.

Linux on Win98?
I have a windows 98, 7 GB hard drive and 63 MB RAM. I have never used linux before and want to install it on my machine. I have tried downloading different versions of linux and creating live CD’s but i cant get it to work. Is there a site that will give me instuctions on how to install linux and a download that will work for me. I would like one that has a GUI. Thankyou.

booting Backtrack 2 from the cd drive?
So i downloaded the backtrack 2 iso file (i think its a live distro linux type program) and burned it to a cd. How do run it? I have heard you run it by booting your computer from the cd drive. How exactly do i go about this (simple instructions please)? i need directions for booting from the cd drive. I have windows xp an only about 400 mb of ram. Can i run backtrack 2 (600mb program) with this little ram?
i have an emachine if that helps tell what key to hit upon startup. and i have 384mb of ram to be exact
