Indeed, a network install with 128MB just doesn't work; Something called 'exe' gets hung trying to install glibc. :-( I noticed that the RAM file systems in use are actually ramfs, not tmpfs, so even after swap is enabled, swap can't be used as backing store for the files we're downloading, some of which are quite large. Doing a local CD-ROM install did succeed on this same system, which leads me to think that the ramfs->tmpfs switch might be beneficial for exactly this reason. -Matt -- Matt Domsch Software Architect Dell Linux Solutions linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux Linux on Dell mailing lists @ http://lists.us.dell.com -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
