Hold the phone.

How much memory can your motherboard accept? 256 MB sounds like half the
capacity that a Pentium-3 motherboard ought to have.


That depends on the manufacturer of the motherboard.  Some early
designs were really poorly thoughtout.

The first thing--the /very/ first thing--that I do when acquiring a new
system is to equip the motherboard with as much memory as it will accept
and recognize. 512 MB /minimum/ is what I would recommend.

By the way, I installed/upgraded my K6-2 450 MHz box which has 256 MB
RAM from Fedora Core 5 to 6. Alloted 15 GB of disk for the OS. The DVD
passed the media test but read errors occured multiple times during
the install. I couldn't perform an unattended install so I tried
installing via FTP. That worked for me.

Note: Had to wait one hour after the 'No handlers could be found for
logger "yum.YumBase". ' error message before signs of installer
progress. (Occurs using either DVD or FTP methods.) The upgrade
process took 7 hours to complete. Then new packge updates took an
additional 4 hours.  (Fedora Unity, where are you?)

If you have broadband access or have another box on your network give
either NFS or FTP install a try.  Also try using a separate /boot
partition and EXT3 instead of LVM.
