Hi, I guess you need at least more than 8MB for Debian >2.0. Maybe you could try 2.0. Also as far as I know is an odd version (ie 2.1) unstable.
I did it 2 years ago with lowmem.bin (Minix) to install Debian 2.0. per floppydisk installation method (486/25/4/90). I had to trick a lot - finally I had success with: * make 4 partitions: - native linux (66MB) - linux swap (8MB) - 2nd native linux for Minix (8MB) - 2nd linux swap partition (8MB) * start lowmem (Minix) and specify 2ndSwap as swap * install debian 2.0 (defining first native linux and first native swap) * repartition last small partitions to a (useful) DOS drive Hope this helps Dieter > Von: Rick Dawson [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > 386SX-25 > 4mb ram > I have Debian 2.1 (2_1_11.1-1) on cd.
