Well, I've been trying to install RedHat 4.2 on this 486 laptop, via FTP over a null-serial cable... The kernel boots, giving a message that 1.2 megs of RAM (out of 4) are free. All of the rest of the boot stuff scrolls by, and finally it comes up with 'RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0', and sits there... All I can figure is that there isn't enough free RAM to load the disk image. I've got an old Slackware distribution that I've sucessfully installed on a 386 with 4Mb of RAM, but it requires a CDROM (won't install via ftp). Can anyone offer any advice/help?
