I tried to install 2.05 on three different machines each with only 4M and the install fails. I never see the "Uncompressing kernel" message. I added 4M of memory to the machines and did the install just fine. I was using the boot.flp that is on the 2.05 CD-ROM for these installs.

This box I was trying to do the install on will never see X or very much use. Its just being used as "glue" between an ultrasound machine and the rest of the network.
