Me = Linux Install Newbie though I am familiar with the system
My Machine = AST Advantage! Adventure 575 - 486DX P75 / 8 MB RAM / 600 MB HD
My Problem = Trying to install RH 6.1 on this thing, I encounter a signal 7
error at the same point in the installation every time. It tells me signal 7
and kills all the stuff and lets me know that I can reboot. I've looked
around for web sites or message boards for help and have only been referred
to a general page of information, through the redhat.com site, about
different signal errors and what they mean during installation. The page is
pretty general and seems to indicate, in short, that it could really be
ANYTHING causing this issue...memory, motherboard, etc. I, personally, would
like to narrow down the cause a bit.
The Odd Thing = I went to the library and borrowed a book with an old
version of RH in it (5.0). I have installed that on to this same machine. It
had to try a few times but I think it failed a few times because I'm working
with only 600 MB of space. Who knows though. Anyway, I have 5.0 on there but
I sure would like to be able to upgrade this machine to put 6.1 on there. I
don't want to pay for a bunch of stuff, however, unless I am confident that
RH 6.1 will even work on this machine.
Any help? Please, I beg you!
