Hello
I am trying to install SuSE 6.4 on a 486 PC/33 with 20MB (RAM) and 2 HDs: 210 MB and 1.08 GB (Seagate soft to jump the 540 MB limitation). It has a CD (Creative 1220 E) attached to a Sound Blaster Card 16. I run the boot disk and then the modules disk . I
I had no trouble installing 5.2 from a sound Blaster CD-ROM. Another solution would be to copy the needed files (A, N packages) to an existing FAT partition and install from there. Then once the basic system is in place set up a network to access the CD-ROM on another machine. I used this method to put linux on a 386-33 with 2 meg of RAM and a 80 meg HD. Unfortunately I couldn't get a SuSE distro to fit and had to use Slack 2.0. ----- Original Message ----- From: mendes <mendes@mgconecta.com.br> To: <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2000 7:44 AM Subject: [SLE] SuSe 6.4 on an old 486 - cd not found! tried all the available
modules for cdrom (sbpc etc.) and got nothing. The cd is working pretty well on Windows. I run out of ideas. Can you help me?
Thanks a lot.
