Background:
I am doing a project in which I am benchmarking various platforms from across the 2000s using 7zip compression/decompression benchmark. I have been running Mint 19.3 XFCE 32 bit to benchmark all of the other systems but want to benchmark a system with an Athlon XP 3200+ for comparative purposes. Mint is unable to boot on this hardware, I believe because K7 is lacking support for SSE2 or some related instruction. I have gone through some attempt and failure with other distros which has led me to where I am at currently.
The problem:
I have installed Q4OS Gemini Trinity 32 bit and am writing from this machine. The installation does not seem to include 7zip preinstalled which is fine, however I am having issues when I try to install it. I have looked at another post from this forum which seems to say 7z should be preinstalled but I am not seeing this I have not had much success attempting to install it. When I try sudo apt install p7zip I get the error that the package has no installation candidate. I have tried a few different abbreviations for 7zip but cannot get anything to install. I assume I am overlooking something very simple, but need some guidance. Thanks!
