I have this old 486 laptop, and was able to install Slackware
with floppies and NFS but I really wanted apt-get.
I did a Sarge base install onto a box with 64M of ram,
then copied all the files over to the laptop's root partition
with tomsrtbt, then installed Lilo with that nifty chroot program.
When I boot, the kernel loads, stuff happens, then it silently freezes
while loading the ramdisk.
I think there's no memory to load it into, and the swap hasn't started yet,
Is there any way to start swap early, or effectively strip down the kernel
and recompile?
Or, should I just spend some money for a laptop with 32+ megs of ram?
(gag)
I'm currently running the sarge stock 2.4 kernel.
Thanks in advance :-)
Eric
