Re: Network Installs on a low memory 486.... how do I do it?

Ward,

FYI, I did an ftp install of RH6.2 on a 486 with 16MB of RAM just a few
days ago. Not one hiccup.

OTOH, the one difference I see is that I had just one IDE disk on the
single IDE controller. I choose ftp since I've not foreseen to get a
CD-ROM for this PC at all.

Regards
Gustav
