If you have enough RAM, go ahead and install 5.4 or 6.0 (or soon enough, 6.1
).
Hi Greg. My issue is that would like to continue using this box and - possibly because of the age of the cdrom - am having a problem installing with my 6.0 iso too. :( This box has 82M of ram, forgot to mention that. And it is running 4.8 with just about nothing on it, and it is networked with my office broadband connection. So, is there a simple way I could install over the net? And how high a release could I go? Obviously I won't be putting X windows on there but if I can get Apache w/ mod_perl, Samba, Mysql and Perl it'll be a useful machine for my intranet. I had all that on before but apparently 4.8 isn't going to work for me now unless I have a time machine.
