Hi

I thought I would have a go at running my OS on a computer I bought for
it (and had it running on) a while ago. So I got it out... it's not
working.

Trying to figure out what is wrong.. I tried different RAM, different
Graphics, different monitors.. at one point it started to boot, but only
once, and I have no idea what I did to make that happen.

It looks as though it works, it just shows nothing on the screen.. the
lights are on, the ethernet card flashes.

I need a speaker so I can hear those magic beeps that tell you what it's
problem is.. but I don't have one.

So, today I have not succeded in running my OS on bare hardware - but I
have succeded in making quiet a mess, and I'm to tired to tidy up now :(

Maybe it's dead, it is fairly old...

Andrew
