Due to events not totally understood, the install doesn't work with 4MB.. you need at least 5MB.. once it's up and going however 4MB is enough.. possibilities: 1/ borrow some ram for the install 2/ upgrade piece-meal from 2.0.5 by unpacking the distributions by hand (if no need to repartition etc) if you need to repartition.. do it with the 2.0.5 disk, and install a minimal 2.0.5 THEN unpack the 2.1 distribution.. > > I have 2.0.5 running fine on my 4 meg 486SX-25...
