Here is the problem I get a kernel panic 1/2 way through the bin01 extract phase, with what looks like a memeory problem but with only 16MB of works fine. Is there anyway of patching the kernel on the dist.fs boot floppy? Or is there any other way of "fixing" this problem. After the install completed with 16MB of memory I reinstalled the other 4MB booted and all appeared fine. Thanks for reading this, and any ideas?
