I still didn't tried the syslinux version, I will do it as soon as possible and let you now what happened.

About the lowram boot option, I tried it and it didn't change anything.

A great thank for all your responses

I have done a frugal install on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 480 CDT with 64MB RAM and it works great! I have a wireless connection using an ATT PCMCIA wireless G card. I had to set up the BIOS a little to make sure that the boot order was correct to boot from the CD and that the highest possible LCD resolution and color setting was available and not stretched. I also set the PCMCIA setting to 16bit, not auto. Then I used parted to squeeze the FAT32 partition down to half the hard drive. The used cfdisk to make three logical partions which I formatted as ext2fs and swap Now this thing rocks! :cool:
