I don't know if RH can install in 4 megws or not ... but even the
distributions that can (such as Slackware) require some tricks. The problem
you face is that install bootdisks (or bootdisk/rootdisk pairs) work by
creating a RAMdisk and installing a small filesystem in it. These days, 4
megs is simply too little memory to provide both the needed RAMdisk and the
needed system memory.
For a workaround, I'd suggest you look at the small-memory instructions that
still come with Slackware.
