The 8 megs of RAM may be a bit too little (I'm quite sure you must have more
than 12 megs to get through)
TfH
PS : if everything else fails, think of getting a full snapshot first to a local machine,
and then install from this machine.

Dear Sirs
I have very odd problem installing 3.4 release.
The machine: 486DX DX4-S 100MHz 8Mb mem and 852Mb disk
It has an 3C509b (ep0) card running with PnP disabled.
(we have also tried D-link card).
Installation progresses fine we choose to install over ftp
we have chosen various locations. It starts to make a new
file system and it contacts the ftp site of our choice and
starts to fetch the /bin dir it gets a few Kb and then it
comes to a complete stop.
It says something like
.... bytes 1 chunk of 110 @ 1.5 Kb/s
and nothing more (the 1.5 Kb/s depends on our choice of
ftp location)
We do not get any clues from going to scroll mode or moving
to Alt F2, nothing alarming here.
I have also installed 2 other 3.4 releases last week on
modern Pentiums using the same gateway, IP and DNS so I
know they work.
Does anyone have any clues? I have exhausted my fantasy.
Best regards
Hans Weber
