Hello Everyone! Today is the day I review Finnix 92.1. As with all the reviews I have written since June 1st 2008 I\u00a0 put standard specs for testing out distros in virtual machines for everyone that I use:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 512mb of RAM<\/li>\n
  2. 8 GB hard drive<\/li>\n
  3. 8 MB of video memory<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This time how ever I will not be installing it as I have never been able to figure out how to get the distro with the commands that I have found to format the drive and be able to install.<\/p>\n

    I guess with the stats that I have listed about the 8 MB of video memory are not really needed and I may take them off later.<\/p>\n

    So here is what I could gather:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Since it is all CLI and I usually use a bit of both I found it a bit more difficult to use then I would normally would have. I had this ISO for a couple of weeks since I was going to try it anyways.<\/li>\n
    2. Commands: the commands that I have tried to install it with are fdisk which was working just fine except when I put in the command to rewrite the partitions after deleting them it did not seem to work. I also tried to use the install and the install-mbr command. Neither seemed to work for me.<\/li>\n
    3. With all the work load I have from my Post Secondary studies I really have no time to work on this at the moment… but I have spring break later in March so maybe I will have time then.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Since you have heard what I couldn’t do this is what I can do:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Booted the cd.<\/li>\n
      2. Tried commands that were to my best efforts were completely useless to me.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        That is all I can say. I know it is not much of a review but it is better then nothing.<\/p>\n

        I would have to rate this at 1.5\/5 (On a day which I would be feeling a little more generous then usual.)<\/p>\n

        I plan to stick with Ubuntu for the time being as I have everything I need.<\/p>\n
