To clarify, glibc 2.17 is the minimum requirement. By the way, you can do the same with a 64bit build (GTK2, glibc 2.17+), but I would build it with SSE3, since except for some very early single core S754/S939 A64/Sempron (pre-E stepping), 99% of 64bit cpus can do that.

Fenyo

Sure, feel free to use it, that's why it's being made.

Fenyo

Hello,
If you want you can try my build , it is specifically for old distros, it is already running with the minimum glibc 2.17 and GTK2 of course.
Other retro builds can be found here.

Thanks for the offer, but the old Acer is running newer Palemoon pretty well. I'll keep it in mind if ...

Hello,
If you want you can try my latest 33.5.1 build, it is specifically for old distros, it is already running with the minimum glibc 2.17 and GTK2 of course.
Other retro builds can be found here.

@Fenyo :-

The ridiculous thing about all this is that the G5400 is hardly what I'd call "old silicon". It's a 9th-Gen Coffee Lake chip.....this is later than Skylake & Kaby Lake, for Chrissakes. Yet Intel deleiberately "crippled" the core by purposely disabling existing instruction sets, just so ...

Fenyo

Not only those changes (glibc and gcc) but also in requiring AVX for "official" builds! I may have to explore your download links Fenyo, as I've only used
Pusser's builds for the past 3 or 4 yrs.
Wiz

Yes I know about the avx, but it doesn't affect Number77's processor support it, so I didn't ...

Fenyo

Hello,

As of version 33.3.0, the minimum glibc and gcc requirements for Palemoon have changed due to the newer build os (Oracle Linux 8), the 33.2.1 version, which was compiled under Centos 7, can be found here (you can still compile the newer versions under Centos 7 if you run them under older ...

Fenyo

Yes, Palemoon was forked from the 52.9 esr Firefox, which is probably why (and gtk2 helps also) it runs well on old silicons ( FF 91.13 was the last one that still runs reasonably well on older machines if you kill the webrender), but the downside is that it can't exploit the potential of more ...

Hello and Happy Easter Wishes for all of us, here are some retro builds;

- 2.53.16 3DNow - usually cpus that have 3dnow, but lack cmov instruction set ( so Amd K6-x series (k6-2/k6-2+/k6-3/k6-3+, Geode LX, some Via cpus (C3 Samuel 2 and C3 Ezra are the target cpus, but also works with classic ...

Fenyo

Here are some builds of nosse/non-sse2 browsers (Firefox esr, Palemoon, Seamonkey, Basilisk) and email clients (Epyrus) for old cpus/distros if anyone is interested.

Fenyo

Happy Santa Claus Day, here are some retro builds;

- 29.1.0 ia32 - sse is even not requried (for PPro, PII, Mendocino core Celeron or classic Athlon/Duron, Geode LX), minimum glibc 2.12 required (Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) or Debian 7 (Wheezy) or higher supported (usually any 32bit distro since 2012 ...

Fenyo

Here are some newer and older SSE only builds:

I have not tried those distros yet. I am not sure how to install them or use them yet.

The easiest way for you step by step;
- Install Plop Boot Manager to Windows Xp mbr to able to boot from usb
- Download DebianDog Wheezy iso only eats around 40-50 mb ram
- Download Rufus 2.18 (the latest ...

Fenyo

The official maximum is just sure at the time when the laptop was manufactured, later came out larger sd-rams which maybe can handle the laptop, its depend on mobo chipset, many P3 laptops can handle 512mb sd-rams with two slots are altogether 1Gb ram of total. Probably the second memory slot in ...

Fenyo

PCG-SRX77, I believe. It does have one USB port...1.0. That could be a problem.
When you boot from a USB stick, assuming 1.0 even works, aren't you limited to whatever RAM the device itself has? In my case that would be 256MB, total.*

No it's not a problem, you cold boot even from usb 1.0 ...

Fenyo

I'm glad I could help, i've tried DebianDog Wheezy on a P3 with 512 mb ram (not fast but useable, depend on website, this site is fast with it :) ), and it's feel snappier than Precise.
Even youtube-dl + mpv with Smtube still usable with Precise and Wheezy. 8-)
Plop Boot Manager installable to ...

Fenyo

DebianDog Wheezy is a Puppy derivate, i don't know whether it lighter Precise or not, its pretty similar package base, but Deiban stable base usually longer tested and probably more stable. antiX is another lightweight distro which based on Debian stable, i was used 13.2 on 1Ghz P3 with 512mb ram ...

Fenyo

The earliest distro which is new enough for this build is CentOS 6, but you have to setup to be lighter (default is Gnome2, but icewm is in epel repos), out of the box light distros i known are Puppy Linux and antiX, the earliest base are enough for PaleMoon 28 are Precise (Ubuntu 12.04) and Wheezy ...

Fenyo

Maybe try Precise Light with ffmpeg could do the job, but i'm not a puppy expert, or just try to add some sd soddim ram to your old P3 laptop, usually in local used pc parts stores is very cheap now.

Update: I've found a solution for Precise and live streams (like Twitchtv), just go to the about ...

Fenyo

I've tested the browser with TwittchTv on an Atlhon Xp machine and it seems stable for hours, but only works if you have new enough ffmpeg, gstreamer codecs, even Precise isnt good enough, just saying video format not supported, but Trusty or Jessie or newer base is ok, i dont know whether Puppy has ...

Fenyo

My build needs glibc 2.12 or newer, so every distro which has it least or newer has to be work, so Precise or newer base works out of the box, Lucid has only 2.11, so it need to be newer glibc, 2.20 that you mentioned is far enough.
If Twichtv use av1 decoder default, i could rebuild PM with disable ...

Fenyo

Centos 6 has glibc 2.12 so this is the minimal requirement of this build, Wary based on Lucid which has 2.11 , so unluckily isnt new enough, but if it has glibc tweak, it maybe work, i just tested under Precise Puppy which must too be good, because it has newer base (glibc 2.15) than Centos 6.

Fenyo

Hello,

I've complied Palemoon 28.17 with sse, it works under Precise Puppy (or newer of corse, 29.x versions seems to be only complieable under Debian 9 or newer), you could download here.
