Your hardware requirements says the system should have 12MB RAM. Any chance I can get my system running with only 8MB?
I have a 486 with 8mb of RAM. I installed slink on it last year, and
upgraded to potato this year. The upgrade was fine with 8mb, but I
wasn't able to do a clean install with 8mb. I tried a couple of
different boot disks, but didn't find one usable, so I went with the
upgrade.
Can your machine see the 1279Mb disk? I suspect it will only see 512mb
or something like that.
Hope that helps.
