Comments/Problems:
This machine has no nic and uses dialup. That combination was
troublesome in the past, but it's all better now. Thank you.
When installing, using 32MB/48MB, only one RAM/Kernel combination failed
to install. The 2.6 kernel with 32MB of RAM was unsuccessful, showing
the
following messages:
[My notes aren't helping me remember if this is exactly correct]
tty1 [looping]: Entering low memory mode <continue>
Entering low memory mode, please wait...
tty4: 204k reserved
tty4: Frontend: Obsolete command mode, Title Low memory called
Thank you for a great installer!
No GUI intended.

Closing this report. 32 mb installs do work with 2.4, I don't know if we
support 2.6, just use 2.4 for limited memory installs.
