Hi everyone,

Have anyone ever tried to install SMGL on something like P75, 4M RAM, 640M
HDD? My mom got such computer and wants me to create web browser and mp3
player from it ;-)

I managed to install RH5.1 on it, but it doesn't boot from RH6.x or higher
CD, as well as it doesn't boot from SMGL ISO from 20040414. Most probably
because all those newer ISOs try to create a ramdisk too big to fit in
memory :( I'm going to try to install SMGL over that RH5.1 when I get home
from work, but I'm not sure I understood instructions for chroot
installation correctly. I'll see in the evening.

In the meantime I would appreciate any tips for such low-memory configuration
;-)

And before anyone suggests that installation wouldn't be possible with
such small disk, I'm going to use samba share for that ;-)

Regards,
Andy
