You are right, it is an old version, version 1.0 with kernel 2.2.18. I bought

it at the UT Computershop and I did not know at that time that it was not
supported any more.
I searched the old Progeny bug reports on the web. It is not possible to get
it installed on a disk with partition tables created with Microsoft Windows
I installed it on a Toshiba Satellite 4100 XCDT. That went fine.
