I'm trying to (finally) upgrade my DEC HiNote Laptop from 2.2.8 to 3.4 by doing just a clean install. I can do all the hard disk stuff and select the installation method, but as soon as it starts unpacking "bin" it hangs. I thought it might be a networking problem and even tried installing from floppies...same thing. Any advice how do dance around possible hardware issues, or anything else? It's a i486/33, 8 MB, 250 MB. I also tried installing 3.0 and that couldn't get past the "probing hardware", and OpenBSD installs but hangs when making the devices. I can install FreeBSD 2.2.8, NetBSD 1.4.1, and DOS without any problems. -- Johh Heyer - john@arnie.jfive.com - http://www.jfive.com "Me fail English?
