thank you Jesus.

strange, but it was the driver. new install ran without a stall.

lt is now recovered from 7-32 trashing.

i would very much like to install 7-32, but it looks like it just
may be that, like fine wine, 7-32 needs to age a little longer
for my taste.

my regrets to the altarch group.

why? your 2009 vintage low end mass market laptop is hopelessly 
underpowered by today's standards, you should stick with software thats 
approximately as old as it is.  however, the Semperon SI-42 is, I 
believe, a 64 bit capable CPU, so why not run native x86_64 win 7 on it?

you are very correct. not in question to your knowledge, i did run a
search to locate info on cpu for my knowledge.

what caused my thinking to be in error is there is a label to right of
rest pad that states 'Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit'.

chemo brain again. 8=\

run 'win 7', no way in hell do i run oos.

this lt came with oos 7 already installed. after i tricked the oos 7
partition a few times to reduce size, i repartitioned drive with oos
down to sda1= 1.6 GB system, sda2= 43.0 GB oos 7, sda4= 8.4 GB recovery,
sda3= extended sda5= 1.1 GB boot, sda6= 3.1 GB swap, sda7 thru
sda10= 11 GB linux os, sda11= 84 GB home, sda12= 66 GB open use.

only reason i left oos 7 is that if i ever, God forbid, am forced to
lower my self, it is installed. only times i have booted oos was during
repartitioning to see if it had problems with sda3. it did not, i have
not booted oos again. i did pull an update package, do not recall which
and i burned the 3 dvds. that i all i have done with oos.


during the writing of this, i started pulling 7.1511 on tower.

i do thank you for bringing it to my attention. very much appreciated.
