I'm trying to install Debian on a 386 Dx 40 with 4MB RAM.
When I booted up, it stoped with the system message:
"RAMDISK: COmpressed image found at block 0"
I downloaded the file lmemroot.bin and when I try to boot up it says that it
is an invalid boot disk

Tell gpm to use /dev/mouse, and then tell XF86Setup to use /dev/mouse.
