It's back... So I go out, buy 2 nics and some cat5, run drakgw on this machine (that i use now), everything seems okay. The other machine disagrees. It says that no link found, check cable. cable is fine, this machine shows nothing to indicate a problem of any kind, successfully pinged eth1's (the card with the cable to the other machine) ip address for no reason at all, that kinda thing. Both are on 24, so i dont bother with ipchains. All this though is irrelevant for now. I decide 'what better time to upgrade from beta1 to beta3 on this machine' (referring to the acer, which is not this machine but rather the other). I skipped beta2 for obvious reasons on that machine. anyway, here comes the relevant stuff. it is this acer k6-233 with 48M of ram. I do vgalo cdrom.img install, which works with beta1. It complained of low resources, but got through it. While beta1 goes through fine, beta3 crashes. after partition formatting (just as it attempts to enter choose packages), it complains of install failing as it seems like memory missing. This sux. It is beta3 like I said, and while Pixel's re-upload solved the last time, that is obviously not the solution since it worked fine on this machine. Yes, the acer is evil, and yes, i insist on doing a graphical install despite lack of ram. And yes, I would like it fixed :). No report.bug, as the perl cant locate Data/Dumper.pm in @INC when i attempt to 'bug'. sorry. Happy hunting!
