I found out that the problem I had with the installation program crashing was apparently due to the kernel turning DMA on for my drive. I solved this passing the "ide=nodma" argument on the linux command line (you get there by typing the F1 key at spash screen).
I'm using this system only as an mp3 player (only text tools). CPU usage is around 30% while decoding, swap space (30Mb) is never used, installation takes approx 150Mbyte of disk. I'll try to reduce RAM to 32Mbyte or less, to speed up the bios boot.
Keep trying, it can be done :-)

I tried to install 9.1 on an old P100 with 32Mbyte of RAM and 370Mb HD. I used text-install, selected no packages. The installer chooses the basic packages - less than 100 - and starts the intallation, but never finishes. It hangs in the middle of the installation process.
