I'm having trouble doing an FTP install of 2.2.5-RELEASE on a 486 with
16MB of RAM and an SMC WD8013EPC ethernet card.  Configuration goes well
but the machine locks up at the "Attempting to install all selected
distributions" screen as the file transfers start.  The FTP server is
a local machine and I can see where the client connects, logs in, and
gets bin.inf.  At this point the client locks up.  The RX light on the
ethernet card still flashes due to other traffic on the network, but the
rest of the machine is frozen.  The only thing I can do is hit the reset
switch.  If I watch the ALT-F2 screen during the install the last thing
I see is "DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file."  I have previously been
able to install 2.1.7.1-RELEASE and 2.2.2-RELEASE on this machine
without any problems.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Has something
changed in the ed driver?

Please CC me on any response since I don't subscribe to this list.

Thanks,
