We are trying to remove redhat to put debian.
I, too, would like to find an answer to the above problem. A search on dejanews locates hundreds of messages similar to this one, but no answers (unless you're running an Athalon...the answer is then upgrade to frozen). I have an old 486 that I'd like to install Debian 2.1 or 2.2 on, but I get the same hang every time. I can install RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE and Slackware, but not Debian.
