Setup & Installation / Re: Unable to boot Arca Installer 5.1.1 on Thinkpad T43 1871-AB9

My T43 1871 has n IDE interface, so SSD is not possible. It wouldn't do any good anyway, because it would be limited to the bus speed.
PCMCIA is possible, but it is also slow, even if you could find suitable hardware.
I have 1.5 GB of memory, which works well. You need at least, 1 GB to avoid excessive paging. I think 2 GB is maximum, in that machine.
Bottom line is that it is an OLD machine, with many limits.
