I managed to install and run MDK9.1 on a P100 with 64Mbyte RAM and a
300Mbyte Conner HD.
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

That bios does not have an evident way to skip the memory test.

Hello Raffaele,
This may have worked for me, it may work for you.
Go into your BIOS and turn off (disable) any Shadow Ram on your
machine.
On a PII 350MHz with 128MB RAM, it seems to be working.

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.
I am not sure it is

Well, I tried because the intall.txt file on the 9.1 cd1 says 32Mbyte
RAM is the minimum, I'm beginning to have doubts now!
Any hint on how to make it work with that little memory?
One thing I might try is to attach the drive to a bigger system, install
9.1 from there and then move the disk

I tried with my pentium 100 with no sucess(both text and low resolution
