I first installed Debian 2.0 with lowmem option which required for less than
8M memory machine,then upgraded to Woody.CPU is DX4/75MHz, but I am
quite puzzled that it was not about the slow but can't be fininshed. So do
you think more than 5 hours to do so is reasonable and if have enough time
(3 days?),it can reach the happing ending?
Thanks
