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, Phil Gilley pgilley@metronet.com
