I stand corrected about the "-J" option. However, there is another angle to consider. I looked up the specifications for the Acer Aspire 7520 and found that it has an AMD 64 x2 processor (64-bits, dual core), 2GHz clock, 2GB main memory, a 320GB hard disk and bundled with Vista. I got led astray by the choice of a severely crippled Linux distribution and assumed it was needed for a *really* old computer. You are going to have to re-learn your way about hardware, if you're going to become a Linux nerd. In the Windows universe, the Acer is close to obsolete (Vista? Pah!) In the Linux universe, this Acer is *prime* hardware for any current Linux distribution. I strongly suggest you cease your experiments with slitaz and use any other popular Linux distribution. Personally, I like Kubuntu, because it was rumored to be most like Windows when I made the choice several years ago. I haven't seen any need to change since.
I'd really hate to see you form any lasting bad impressions of Linux from your experience with a crippled distribution.
