I guess the question becomes, why do you *want* to run Red Hat 8.0 on a laptop when it
clearly wasn't designed for it. Personally, I would go with an older version of Red
Hat that might be more suited for that machine. I have also seen floating around this
list (or was it the -install list?) a link for a custom made installer that was
designed to run in 16MB of RAM. You'll have to search the archives in order to find it
though.
HTH,
Jonathan

Yes, but he has only 24MB, not 32MB. 8.0 won't install with less than
32MB, even in text mode.
Alex: would it be possible to "borrow" some RAM from another machine to
do the install? After the install, you should be able to run with only
24MB (but it'll be slow).
