Hello All:

I have a DEC 486SX with 8MB ram and 40 MB hard drive. Mulinux seems to be the obvious solution.

My computer is now formatted as EXT2 with linux swap drive.

I can successfully load the BOOT+USR flopy disk. But when I proceed to the next disk, loading stops around 22%. How come? Run out of memory, I suspect.

Ultimately, I would like to "clone" the floppies onto my hard drive. I have tried to do so with only BOOT+USR but the installation aborts because it cannot find LILO. Of course, LILO is on the WKS floppy which cannnot be loaded because of the 22% constraint.

Why 22? Perhaps it suggest a "Catch 22".

Thanks for your help.

ANDREW
