Hello all - I'm trying to install Debian 2.0.2 on a Toshiba 386 laptop, with 4M of memory and a 120M hard drive. I RT the fine Manual and have my stack of floppies ready.
Used lowmem.bin, did the partition thing (92M for me, 20M for swap, 6M for Minix), booted with the resc1440.bin disk and entered boot params of "rescue root=/dev/hda3". So far, so good. Get the usual scrolling screen, telling me that all is well... except, for the past 20 minutes, I've been staring at a message that tells me the system is "Adding swap: 20588k swap space (priority -1)". The question is - Is Debian going to run worth a d**n on this thing? The primary use will be for learning C and mucking about with shell programming. I won't be loading much more then the base system, gcc, g++, and vi. Dan Deasy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
