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? andy
