Or if its really Mandriva (what used to be called mandrake) that you want to run, I believe there are sugar packages for that distro, you might have to search the net a bit. I know Caixa Magica, which is based on Mandriva has been quite worked on to work for many netbooks including the classmate set of netbooks. But start with Sugar on a stick, if it doesn't load, let us know and we can help you to make Sugar work on your hardware and distribution.<br> <br>kind regards,<br>David (Nubae) Van Assche<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 5:37 PM, Walter Bender <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:walter.bender@gmail.com">walter.bender@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I would try running Sugar on a Stick as a means of debugging.<br> <br> -walter<br> <div><div></div><div class="h5"><br> On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 11:35 AM, Ashar Iqbal <<a href="mailto:s.ashar.iqbal@gmail.com">s.ashar.iqbal@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> > I have got a laptop with a VIA C3 cpu.
