Hi Tom,

I took a look at your VAIO specifications and noticed that it's based
on a Pentium MMX processor. Unfortunately the ISO will not run on this
CPU, as all packages (including the kernel) are optimized for the
Pentium 2. The current GoboLinux CD will only work on such processors
(and above).

We used to have a parallel version of the CD for i386 (386 and above),
but that was a very domain-specific distribution which now is gone.

Sorry for the bad news. :-(
