I tried to install 8.2 (and 8.1) on an older NEC laptop and got the
following messages:
    in second stage install
    install exited abnormally :-(
    sending termination signals...done
    sending kill signals...done
    unmounting filesystems:
        /proc
        /tmp/image
    you may safely reboot your systems

I suspect this is because of the limited memory, shown by these last
entries in the logs (alt-F3):
    Total Memory: 40 Mbytes
    warning: ramdisk is not possible due to low mem!
    stage1. disconnecting life support systems
    second stage install running (DrakX v 1.684 built Sat Mar 16 12:21:08 2002)

This is on an NEC Versa 4000C, 75 MHz Pentium (I *said* it was old!
:-))  Am I doomed to install Mandrake or is there some magic boot
parameter that will save me?
