Is this really true based off of > the information I just gave or could there but another issue? I suspect it's the amount of memory that's triggering that error message from the installer. According to RHL9 releases notes: Memory: - Minimum for text-mode: 64MB - Minimum for graphical: 128MB - Recommended for graphical: 192MB but personally I have been running it on a 96 megs machine without any problems; it's not fast, and you don't want to turn on any bells and whistles, but it will work with X-Windows. Have you tried to install in text-mode instead of using the default graphical install? -- Daniel Robitaille -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
