I am a *ux newb... I'm trying to get DSL to work on my old Pentium 150 Mhz 128 RAM... Using version of DSL: 0.8.1.1
Booting from CDROM:
ISOLINUX 2.04 (Debian, 2003-06-06)
isolinux: Loading spec packet failed, trying to wing it ...
isolinux: Failed to locate CD-Rom device; boot failed.
So I almost gave up until I found the IMAGE File. I got it onto the floppy. WOO it actually boots up. But, thats it. It seems to boot, mount, etc... It goes through, displays the many directories its trying to create on the ramdisk arent found, and says its in Panic, and stops.
Booting from Floppy:
Boots...
An error says:
You passed an undefined mode number... Press <RETURN> to see the video modes available <SPACE> to continue or wait 30 seconds.

-List of modes goes here-

Enter mode number or 'scan':
Uncompressing Linux, OK, Booting the Kernal.
After that, stuff appears on the screen, scrolls down fast. The things that stuck out to me were:
engrep:
sed:
awk:
total memory __ KB (empty, no number for the memory)...
Kernal Panic...
*stops here, forever*
I've spent hours upon hours, through several days trying to get this far. The support here, for newbs and experts alike seems very nice and balanced, and I DO appreciate any time and imput you can put into this matter.
(Note:
I posted this elsewhere, sorry, in addition to an already developed thread, so I decided to start a new one here. Sorry.)
