You'll need at least 512MB of RAM and a 686 CPU to boot and use it.
There's a 32bit kernel and a 64bit kernel.
Please inform me if RIPLinuX is working or not!
Any suggestions are appreciated!
You can write any bootable ISO below to a CD/DVD, using cdrecord etc.
You can also write any (except GRUB2 version) bootable ISO below to
a USB flash drive.
Example: dd if=RIPLinuX-10.8.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M "Under Linux!"
Example: dd if=RIPLinuX-10.8.iso of=\\.\e: bs=1M "Under Windows!"
You'll loose anything on the USB flash drive, but any remaining space
on the drive can be used by using fdisk to create a second partition,
and putting a FAT32 etc. filesystem on it.
There's a Windows version of "dd" below.
You can create a second partition on /dev/sdb by using "mkpart"
from RIPLinuX.
# mkpart b all /dev/sdb
# mkdosfs -F32 /dev/sdb2
The above example assumes your USB flash drive is on /dev/sdb.
Another method for putting RIPLinuX on a USB flash drive is by
using the "mkusb" script below.
You can also use this Windows USB installer.
Choose "RIP Linux" from its menu, then browse to
where RIPLinuX-10.8.iso is on your hard drive etc.
It should work with any ISO below, but your USB
flash drive should be at least 256MB.
Verify the ISO under Linux or Windows.
md5sum -c RIPLinuX-10.8.md5 "It should say OK!"

Read the USB readme for instructions on how to install
RIP on a USB flash drive.
Read the mkextlin readme for instructions on how to install
the Linux system on a USB flash drive partition. You can
then boot and use it the same as if it was installed to a
Linux Ext2/3/4 or Btrfs formatted partition on a hard drive.
