idea to try and install rawhide on this machine and install
LXDE, I can try on another older machine at school, but I
want to see if I can install ext4 or not when new Beta
release(s) appear for F10.

a spin of LXDE for those older machines. I can surely test
this as a colleage has very old machines which ran windows
98 with 32/or 64 MB of Ram and if LXDE works under such
harsh, below average conditions, I can gladly and cheerfully
attempt to install Fedora with LXDE on those machines and
make the students test the machines out. Windows 98 freezes
most of the time and my colleage decided not to connect the
machines to avoid problems. But I think this is a great
opportunity to test LXDE and see if it can power on those
old machines.

If you install livecd-tools and spin-kickstarts from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448072
It is fairly easy to create a new spin based on existing
working
examples including xfce, kde, desktop ks files. Someone
would have to
volunteer to maintain it going forward however. That
requires more
commitment.

Thank you again Rahul for your prompt response. I will take a look into it. This is a
very promising desktop for older machines which we have plenty of at school. They might
take some to the warehouse to auction them off, If I can get a livecd and inject some life
into them with LXDE that would be great :)
Regards,
Antonio
BTW,
I have visited the following page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChristophWickert/FedoraLite
but I cannot find out the end low requirements to get this working on a system or try it
out with a livecd. I run rawhide and have the livecd-tools installed.
