Working to put Centos 5 on my old Toshiba Portege 3490ct (256Mb memory).
PCMCIA CDrom and Lan card.
After recognizing the video card I get the message about no graphical
install available. Putting on and external monitor does not change this.
Let me quote the Release Notes:
o The anaconda installer needs at least 128MB of memory to work, and
will only use text mode if the system has less than 256MB of RAM.
I guess that this is "includig 256MB".

The installer could be reading your system as less than 256 MB of ram. Does it
have shared memory for the video?
Oh, yeah. I seem to recall that being the case.
I know that 256Mb works for graphical install, as I did it on a Compaq SFF.
I will go into the bios and see if I can disable the shared memory
enough for the install.
