installation problem

["Adam Robson" <a_robson@hotmail.com>]

I'm having a problem installing compact linux from floppies on a 80486 AST 
Bravo NB 4/25s laptop; I'm asked for the root disk-

VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER

and when i insert the disk I get the message-

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0

and the computer reads the floppy drive for a while and then stops.
I've tried rebooting, and writing rescue and root to different floppies 
several times with no success.  I've tried installing the compact and 
vanilla flavours.

I think only have 8MB of RAM is that maybe the problem?  If so, is there an 
older package I can get that would work?

Thanks,
Adam
