I have a 486 with 16mb ram, and 160 mb hard drive. i have already installed using only a floppy disk (that is all i have), uncompressed dsl, created a 64 mb swap (initialized it, but not sure it is working), and am booting with a boot floppy.
at the boot screen, i type "dsl vga=771". it loads linux24 and gives the error:
"you passed an undefined mode number. press return to see video modes available, space to continue or wait 30 secs"
so I press return and it gives me 7 VGA modes to choose from. so i choose one (doesnt seem to matter which one i choose -> 80x60) then it scans and loasds a bunch of stuff.
then it goes into DSL X Setup, asks me if I want to use Xvesa or Xfbdev xserver. I choose Xfbdev. i say No to "USB mouse", and yes to "IMPS/2 mouse", and i choose a us keyboard.
Then it tries to do some stuff with "bootlocal.sh" file, but it says No such file or directory exists. it creates 2 new xauthority files. Then I get the following error:
"XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ':0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining"
then i get a command line : dsl@tty1[dsl]$
also, if I simply press return at the boot menu, it goes through all the processes, and ends up with an empty screen. it seems like it is working at that point, but it just isnt displayed.
any help?
