Civileme, Is what you've just mentiond documented somewhere?!?!
I tried repeatdly to install off of the 8.1 discs (disc 1) and I could not get it to install on my 133 w/ 64MB of EDO ram and 1.3GB HD. It would have errors out the wazzoo w/ the 2.4 No mater How much I tried (and believe me I TRIED) to install w/ all options I could think of, including deselecting 2.4 and selecting 2.2 it would not install. Ugh, at any rate, if it isn't documented, it might be a good idea to post on Mandrakeforum, or mandrakeusers.org NB On Mon, 2001-12-24 at 20:36, tester wrote: > On Mon, 2001-12-24 at 15:46, Michael Viron wrote: > > As far as I know, it will not install with anything less than 32 MB ram.
