I found the msg you reffered to in the archives and said something about
this memtest86 rpm on the second CD, yet I couldnt figure out how to make
this rpm run from a floppy ():-) ?!?

what :)

Are you in windows or linux ? Is it dual boot? If so you can install the
memtest prog in linux and run it from a console without a window manager
running (single user mode I think it's called) Or what I meant was to copy
the program to a floppy and then boot the machine with the bios set to boot
floppy drive first. It has been a long time since I used it so you may have
to experiment to find the right way to do it. Unless someone on the list who
knows better can jump in here. The readme is on my system here:
/usr/share/doc/memtest86-2.7/READMECheck on yours or the cds and see what
you can find out...HTH
