I have been trying to install 2.2.2, and every time I pass the device
configuration on the installation floppy. I get a panic: double fault
then   syncing disks.. and it locks. The machine I'm trying to put it
on is a p90, 48M ram, WD21000 drive

should I just try to install 2.1.7?

please respond via email since I do not follow he newgroup much!

thx
Jim
