I recently tried to install Redhat 8 on an old Pentium-75 Laptop with
24MB of RAM (its actually a TI Travelmate 5300).

Since I don't have the CDROM, I copied all the ISO files to 10GB
harddrive (of which at least 8GB should be accessible) and did a
HardDrive install.

Everything seemed to be working fine until the part where the installer
attempts to detect the video card.  (Even though, I did a text based
install).

It comes back and says there is insufficient memory, reports an error,
and stops.

Does a TEXT based install of RedHat really require more than 24MB of
Ram?


My initial attempts of getting RedHat onto this laptop consisted of
putting the laptop harddrive on my desktop, doing the install, and then
moving the harddrive to the laptop.  This resulted in the laptop
mysteriously rebooting after the grub screen.

I guess I could use a different distribution, but I really like
RedHat... Is there a way to make this work?


Thanks

-Alex
