I have an IBM 365X (133mhz) with a 6gig HD, and cdrom, and floppy drives. I've tried mandrake 9.2, to no avail, and I tries dman small linux, which works fine, but it's just a little to basic for me...and I trued peanut linux, which I couldn't get to install. I'd like to try a well known distro...like maybe debian, or slackware...any suggestions?
Thanks!

try them all. then pick the one that fits you the best.
Well, if you're going for well known then go for Debian, Vector, or Slackware.
In terms of Knoppix mini-distros, there's Damn Small (which you've tried), Feather Linux, Flonix, Morphix, Kurumin... the list goes on :)
