I am trying to install a new version I got at the LINUX Expo in NYC in Feb2001 onto an old 486/dx33 gateway PC with a Sony CDROM drive and 15" SVGA monitor with 8 MB ram and 405 MB hard-drive. The initial config installer sees all the devices except for my Sony CDROM drive. I get to the final point where I hit return and I tell it to reformat my hard-drive and install the LINUX Os from the CDROM drive and all I see is a blue screen with a white cursor in lower left corner. If I hit the num_lock key I get to a DOS prompt screen that says the following: ... it spits out a line a second and it runs off the monitor and never changes or stops ... infinite loop ... pid 12 (sh), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space. Whatever help or links you could email me would be helpful and greatly appreciated. Thanks! Andrew. supported for read-only access by the CDROM driver. WORM/CD-R/CD-RW writing support is provided by cdrecord, which is in the ports tree. The following CD-ROM type systems are supported at this time: cd - SCSI interface (includes ProAudio Spectrum and SoundBlaster SCSI) matcd - Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative SoundBlaster) proprietary interface (562/563 models) scd - Sony proprietary interface (all models) acd - ATAPI IDE interface The following drivers were supported under the old SCSI subsystem, but I guess I am a little confused. Are you trying to install Linux or FreeBSD? Josh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
