I have an oppurtunity to help someone put to use an old desktop by
installing Linux.
The system is a Intel Celeron 1.3GHz system with 125 MB RAM and 80GB HDD on
a VIA MB. It needs a OS that is light and can be installed with LiveUSB. I
tried with AntiX but am unable to get it to boot due to a slow USB port (USB
1). The boot process is starting but at the time it looks for the squash FS
its unable to find it. My guess is its because of a slow USB 1. Booting thru
CD also failed for the same reason. The CD has AntiX i686 so i was not sure
it will work, but the USB has 1486.

Any pointers and advice.
