Help finding 32-bit variant of Sparky for an aging tablet.

[Danny4114]

I have an Acer Aspire Switch 10 tablet/laptop hybrid. It has an Intel Atom Z3745 clocked at 1.33GHz, 2GB of RAM, and 32 GB of internal memory. I was considering installing Sparky onto it considering the latest versions of Windows and their periodic updates are proving to be too much for the limited 32 GB storage.

The trouble is, my device has a 32-bit architecture whereas the download options I could find on the download page are for 64-bit architectures. As such, can someone please guide me to the download link of the right version for my device with the MATE desktop environment?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.

Unfortunately, the version (as ISO image) you want (Mate i686/32-bit) does not exist.

In your case, you should use the MinimalGUI verison. The MinimalGUI i686 - Openbox.iso (in my opinion, better, lighter & faster). And afterwards, you can install the 'Mate' desktop, or any other.

I forgot to include the md5 / sha1 sums of the openbox iso in my previous message.


Which are as follows:

Hi,
I too am looking to to revive my aging laptop which is a Dell latitude running an i5 processor with 32 bit architecture. Would your advice also apply to me with the MinimalGUI i686 openbox iso.?
many thanks

Yesterday, I already answered you properly, in your first message.

So, please don't ask the same question in three different threads. It is very rude, and also creates useless and unnecessary threads.

[....]  many thanks
