O T - Where Can I Obtain ?

Could you not just run the liveCD and see if there are any issues before installation?

What do you actually mean by Windows 2000 software. Win 2000 will run virtually anything that runs on Win 98 or Win XP.

I think he wants the win2000 install disk, try asking on uk.adverts.computer it should only cost a couple of £'s and some postage

Did you try really hard ?

Google "windows 2000 dell torrent" and find out how to download and burn an ISO. Shouldn't be any problem installing it - you have a licence - and *if* some idiot hasn't stuffed it with malware you should be OK.

Regarding Ubuntu, for that machine i'd look at

Alternative to Ubuntu for an older machine is PClinuxOS 2007. I have just installed it on a 500mhz machine and it runs a treat. Couldn't be more pleased. Had a few problems but the folks on the PCLOS forum are superb.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember David Kennedy saying something like:

Did you bother even looking at the link you posted?

Debiaan seems to run on most stuff. It may not be totally simple tho to install.

Standard Ubuntu seems fine on my Dimension 8400

I would rather put a cop of WinME on than get fleeced.

I'll go for Ubuntu if I have to

If you have FTP, you can have a bastardised version of WinME from here ftp://basecuritysystems.no-ip.biz Username = anonymous password = password.

It installs itself with few prompts. Already has coding. Not an actual MS OS, but works the same and gives loads of hardware drivers.

HTH

With the popularity of the WinME being downloaded from the server. Do you all want me to leave it on there?

I thought it would only get one hit from Constructor, but it seems everyone wants a copy. :-)

I was going to say "Yes please" but it doesn't appear to still be there.

Ooops. Yes it is. I set up FileZilla wrongly. Ta very much BW.

Is everyone finished? I have taken the server off-line to make changes for other things. Does anyone want it back up?

Let me know.

IO keep trying to hit it but it appears not to be there James

In article , the_constructor scribeth thus

If thats anything like the MS ME why is anyone bothering to download such a dog of an OS?..

Its a bit outdated now but WIN 2000 PRO was about one of the best MS ever did!...

But whatever you do don't go for the Vister clap;(...

Do you want the server back on? If you want a copy, gives a shout and it yours.

The server gets used for other file transfers, so it's not always open for everyone. Just give me shout if you want it open.

A deafening silence BW. Perhaps, like me, the interested parties have taken copies. Thanks for mine.
