Hello boyz and girlz, men and women.
I attended the alice mtg last month and found religion. But I am a =
newbie who is trying to install redhat (I know, I can rely on the next =
installfest, but attepting to do on my own) on a 486 box a friend =
bequeathed me. So I am going w/ the distro supplied w/ the "learning =
redhat linux" by oreilly. Dont know the version but when installing sez =
2.0; is this the kernal or the version? I couldnt say.
Anyway, have tried to install w/ custom, workstation and server options. =
In each case, install shuts down anywhere between 46+/- mb and 270+/- mb =
with error msg to the effect of "install exited abnormally -- received =
signal?" and the susequent shutting down of the various install files.
Particulars of the box:
cpu ibm6x86l pr200+ 150 mhz
mboard mk78178991 w/ award bios 1995 pci/pnp 586, v =
5.2a
chipset vxpro pc82ca37vxt
memory 32 mb total edo by sieman 2 sticks, and crystal =
332-b sticks
hd quantum 1280 at ide
modem isa slot, rockwell 95 l3u/g chip, smart one model =
336 flx
cdrom standard
fd standard
mouse ps/2 on card w/ game console port
So what ideas does the collective consciousness think re the inability =
for complete install?
Thanks for your help.
Tom.
