Not possible. It ran out of RAM, never got installed.
More, my boot kernel (I must upgrade it!) is 2.4.20, so it can't use the 2.4.26-1-386 or 2.4.24-speakup modules either.Why are you booting a 2.4.20 kernel with the installer? That doesn't make sense and I'd not be suprised if this kernel mismatch is somehow causing the problem.
I set it up some time ago, to boot pxe-boot. I don't know now where the kernel/initrd came from, and I've been trying the latest daily builds since then, just copying the required kernel/initrd into place where those were.
I'm pretty sure it was a standard kernel/initrd package, but it may well mismatch with the Sarge materials I was trying to install.
