Hi,
I recently got an old Dell 486 PC. I tried to install Debian 2.0 on it, but booting with a disk which is using syslinux is not working. I tried bootdisks from other distributions to make shure, that it's syslinux - same results. Booting from a RedHat 5.0 bootdisk, this one is not using syslinux, worked fine. The boot process always stops after a few seconds: loading xxx .... Has anybody seen this before ? What can I do ? Booting from CD-ROM is no option, because the PC has no CD :-) I tried to change the hardware, no change. Thanks for your help. Hans-Peter
