On-Disk not haveing 2009 repo disks.

[ancients]

Does anyone know where i can buy or get a repository set for pclinuxos 2009.
I ordered one from on-disk.com but after three weeks, the reply was the files were
corrupt. My old Panasonic CF-27 is to slow and won't handle kde4.
As for on disk, I wont be ordering ther anymore.... any help on a repo disk for 2009 or
2007 would be appreiciated. Thanks.

I guess you're running KDE3? There's an online repository here. It was last modified on Feb 11, 2010. Your PCLinuxOS iso from 2009 would actually be version 2007. You might want to think about archiving the files you need after downloading them.

thank you, i will give it a try and reply back

Perhaps its time to move on to the latest releases, anything prior to a fully updated 2010 install (ie using current repo stock and having used aptupgrade) is no longer supported.

Its not that, my other systems run kde4.
 I just like this old CF-27, its built to last,
water proof, shockproof, supposibly bullet proof,
and everything works, wireless and all...
so why throw it out!!!

   Intel Pentium III, 64 MB (192 MB Max)

With 192 MB maybe (just maybe) OpenBox and LXDE can be used, I'm running LXDE in some PIII with 240 MB, Wine, flash games and all. 128 MB was too low    ran but took ages.

I am currently putting together a new IcedLatte Iso - I am putting it together on a Toshiba Satelite 1800-400 celeron800 with 256megs of ram, one of my test machines is a P2 366mhz with 128 megs Ram.

While Flash is not possible at that level - you can use the likes of mplayer and various other apps to play video etc

Keep an eye out for it soon

Well the cf-27 is a pentium 3, 512 ram, 320gb hd, but
the downside is the graphics card doesnt support flash
or 3d effects, I tried the 2010 lxde, it did load but was very slow,
I mean a turtle would move faster, go figure.
But all that aside, the repo did work and i am installing my programs
I want in the system. I had no problem buying the repo disks
to support pclinuxos {which i do every year} just on-disk was'nt
very helpful.

But thanks to all for the help and support.

Keep an eye-out for wither of the Iced-Latte or Skinny-Latte iso's you may be surprised what that machine can do, you may need to fine tune the graphical server or use FbDev (make sure you set the vga= correctly at grub) or Vesa  but you should be able to watch flas(flv) video with that machine

ancients that's a very good machine     and one you can even use for self defense

Thank you, YouCanToo. I wanted to post that link, but couldn't find it. I have it bookmarked now, and the bookmarks backed up. 

@ancients,

A PIII with 512MB RAM? I'm running Openbox on an 800mHz. Except for the slow bus speed, it runs really well. Of course, I have a decent nVidia AGP graphics card. If you have an AGP slot and can dig up an nVidia card for it, that one addition will make a lot of difference.

Here are even some older files going back to .93 (2004)

FWIW, I have a couple of PIII's with 512 MB RAM. One runs Phoenix (Xfce) and the other runs the Zen Mini release of Gnome 2.32. I've also ran Openbox, LXDE and e17 quite successfully on these older laptops (IBM Thinkpad T23's). In fact, it's these laptops that I've used to write the various articles about the various desktop environments that have appeared in the PCLinuxOS Magazine.
