hi all,

I will like to test CentOS 4.2 on alpha platform. I have a Digital Powerstation 433au with 128 MB of RAM and 4 GB Scsi disk. Does this hardware meets hardware requeriments for CentOS 4.2??

yes it does, CentOS4 will work quite usable on that machine - I would go with a Text install and remember you need to create the special boot partition manually.

Let me make this 'special boot partiotion' a little less special. It's just that anaconda/diskdruid & friedns are not avare of situation whwre aboot need some roughly 1MB space raw from start of the disk. So one ust make first partition by choosing the free space and using the 'edit' button and make it start from 1 and be some needed space. That will leave the first cylinder (usually at least 7MB) free, so aboot can write itself to the begoning of the disk and not trash the boot partiotion. I should be able to fix this on CentOS-4.3 tho.

I don't have above hardware (as i maintainer for Alpha/axp version) myself, but if Karanbir days it works, i take it so.

Ok, thanks for your replies ... But what about performance to use this hardware for LDAP and kerberos server? I have try it with debian and it is slowly ...

It needs more RAM ...
