I've managed to get a hold of an old Multitech Communications gateway
cheap (read as free). It has several 486 SBCs with 8mb ram and NICs - it
also has a few 386es. I thought that this would make a neat project to
have a bunch of machines in the corner in a small form factor. I put
in some hard drives and floppies that I had laying around. Has anyone
successfully installed on these puppies?
Now the problem starts. I'm trying to install 6.1 (because that's what I
had handy), and I do a text install (I have no idea on the video, and I
don't want X on it anyways). It asks me for a driver disk, I cancel it,
and then it starts to load stuff from the cd. After about 7-8 minutes, I
get a signal 7, and then tells me I can shut down. Any ideas why?
Of course I'm at work now, and I can't remember whether they are 486SX or
DX. the only reason I bring it up, is because I have had a problem with
installs on other SX machines - freezes, etc. I've upgraded the machines
to DX chips, and they would work great. What would cause this?
What steps should I do to install on the 386es? Obviously it isn't going
to be a heavy duty machine (DNS and only DNS for my home network), and
I'll be following the custom install path to reduce most of the stuff I
don't need.
Please advise. TIA.
- Larry
