[gNewSense-users] gNewSense on older hardware

[Brian Kemp]

"I think the problem is not so much the speed as more the amount of RAM.
Do you have the possibility to create a swap-partition first?
Maybe with a smaller live-cd? This may probably help... or maybe not."

A swap partition definitely helps. Try using a second hard disk or a
USB flash drive if such extra hardware is available.

PCI USB cards would allow you to add USB ports; they may be
prohibitively expensive in some areas, however.
