Hmm, this can be the cause why it did not run on my compaq laptop (32MB). If I remeber correct I used 16MB for the default ramdisk size on rc4_pre2, but that much is not required. I inform you if I got it installed on my compaq machine. I run it here on a 486SX/25 system with 16MB ram and two 100MB hds running as a raid device, since nearly a year without a problem. But I had to compile all the packages for that special system , because that time we used i686 as the default HOST. > I'm gonna have to go shopping.
