Hi All, The installation program on my Intel P5/80MB RAM machine works fine up to 'Relinking to create unique kernel...', during which the system either reboots or eventually prints a kernel panic message. If 80MB is not enough under normal circumstances then it's not worth debugging. Apparently 64MB was enough for 6.7 (https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2020-06-21/0/POSTING-en.html) but that was then, e.t.c.
