Install new linux on TouchTunes MJS computer
« on: May 12, 2023, 07:01:16 pm »
Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to install fresh Linux install (Ubuntu) on a TouchTunes MJS computer?  Is there a sequence to get to the boot menu, etc?

I am pretty sure MJS computer can't handle Ubuntu, but you can try.

Plug in ps2 keyboard.
Hold shift during boot to get to lilo boot menu.

IIRC the mjs has some cheap old Via CPU. You'd have better luck trying something like Puppy Linux
