I have just been going around and around with a Compaq Prosignia VS
(486DX2/66 EISA, built-in vid, 53c710 SCSI, AMD PCnet-32 Ethernet - a
miniature server) trying to get an install going, and one of the things that
made it ultra-difficult (I eventually gave up, in fact) is that after
booting from an RH floppy, I was getting 0.82 bogomips - that's zero point
eight two. I first tried changing/reorganizing memory but it didn't make
any difference. The curses screens painted
one...
line...
at...
a...
time.
