Pressing ctrl-alt-f1 f2 or f3 at the install screen did not work.
Nothing happened at all. What I see on the install screen is as follows.

Boot from Harddisk
Installation
Installation -ACPI Disabled
Installation -Safe Settings
Manual Installation
and Rescue System

Then theres 'boot options' below that with a text box for input under
it. Across the bottom theres F1 HELP, F2 Video mode (640x480) F3 Driver
Update.

Everything I have tried to do so far has required me to load the kernel
from the bootdisk and modules1. Then I get bounced into Manual
Installation, in which I can configure my network card and network
settings for DHCP. After that, its the IP of the FTP server and the
location of the installation - and the prompt "not enough memory, please
give the path to swap'.

Still stuck and looking for options,

Thanks

Thinker.
