seems like the wrong distro to me, as there would not be enough ram to suport the ramdrive. Use the option to install to the hard drive with no acpi, and video set to vga, and see what happens i am doing the same thing on a very acient bit of silicon, and have made headway with those settings cheers chris t
= = = Original message = = = Greetings, I have a very very very old PC--I'm serious, this thing only has about 64 MB of RAM, and a 100 MHz Pentium CPU, and a BIOS that can only boot from a hard drive or a floppy drive--which I have tried to get Damn Small Linux running on, but it fails to boot the live CD, and I think this is because it fails silently when setting up the RAM disk which makes trouble later when it tries to read/write files in the RAM disk. In short: I think it is built to run with more memory than this computer has. Of course I already have a working Linux box with more power than this antiquated pile of silicon, but I thought I might have some fun, and maybe even show it off at the next software freedom day. So, should I try an older version of DSL? Or am I using the wrong distro for the job?
