Well I'm running with 40Mb and it seems OK...

I think Linux may (being a very fast and advanced OS :) ) get upset if you mix
memory speeds - or vastly different memory speeds. I've only got 60ns in all
my machines, and 70ns in one at school... but a machine with a 60ns and an
80ns bank was a) slow and b) unable to boot my SuSE install...

Well... I'm no RedHat expert... but check their sites to see if they have a
pair of images for installation. I think you'll probably want to use the
RedHat because you've paid for it and probably not too willing to jump straight
in with vi to edit your config files - RedHat seems to be pretty good on the
user-friendly config. front. However, from experience Slakware have a boot
disk with various kernels for boot-up - different SCSI cards etc... - and a
root disk with different install scripts. Looking at my RedHat single-CD
distribution here I see an /Images directory with boot.img, rescue.img and
supp.img - are these any good d'you reckon? (I'm on Windoze right now, can't
mount the disks to check the contents).
So, I think you need to use the rawrite utility in /Dosutils to copy Boot.img
(1.44 Mb) and one of the other two to a floppy disk, just to see if they'll
boot without a RAMdrive. However, do check the RedHat docs to see if there's
some approved way of booting without a RAMdrive - I'm not used to their setup.
