Hi everyone,
I have linux installed on a 386/25 with 8 megs of ram. It took about
7 tries but finally i have this packages installed. "A","AP","D","F","Y"
During the configuratoin option i chose to have Linux boot from a foppy.
and no other os on LILO config.
But everytime i try to boot from the floppy it gives me the error
message similar to the following.
--Unknows compression method.
System Halted
and i have to do a cold boot. I can boot from slackware installatoin and
do mount root=/dev/hda6 and i have no problem booting.
i am running version 1.1.59 and have only the basic system. 2 floppies, 2 hard drive and plain vga card/monitor.
Thanks for help
