Under the heading "Boot Images" it says:
"The boot images have the following standard characteristics:
[...]
* Requires a 486 or better
[...]
* Recommended RAM: 18M or more - could probably be reduced by judicious
trimming of packages and creation of your own data disks. I'd recommend
_at_least_ 4M free space for Linux to run in - preferably 8M."

That timeout only happens during setup; once you're set up it should go
away.

setup.sh and configure.sh are not "used" in the normal way by a general
user; a user should never have to know where these scripts are or what
they are.

Ahhh.... this makes more sense I think. However, doesn't the message
for acfg -i detail that you must load dialog and libm from another disk?
The readme goes into a lot of detail about apkg; did you read that? I
don't know which version of Dec. 2000 you used; the recent versions
force you to read the readme...
Why do you need to know about configure.sh and setup.sh?
