CHALLENGE!! 4mb 486 desktp/420HD and nic!
I have tried to install linux on the above using the 4mb laptop howto.
I cannot get MuLinux to boot....*however*, I managed to get Small Linux to boot and create the needed partitions and then put the Small Linux Root disk on Hdrive and use that as Root to free up the floppy.
My question:
I wish to install Suse...but Suse tries to uncompress the kernel image (whether from HD or floppy) thereby hanging (4mb). The distro example given is Slackware.
Does Slackware use an uncompressed kernel, so I can just copy the files to the HD and then boot from it?(using the boot disk to point to the HD as the root image) or have I missed something?
