Matthew,
My harddrive is 128MB. As to the install, I do the following:

-partition harddrive ( 3 partitions: 32MB swap, 3 MB minix, the rest as

-activate and initialize swap
-activate temp root partition

Simon,
I tried your fix last night. I re-installed the whole thing and then
rebooted with the lo-mem disk in. I got as far as menu option 4 on the
low mem disk (Exiting). When I did that, the following happened:

larity, could you give me the syntax
for using the mount command? A thousand thanks.
