Hi,

Ive been running linux since 1.0.9 back whenever that was, but stopped for
a while due to disk space problems, anyway...

I have a problem that I cant seem to find in a FAQ or on dejanews or doing a
web search.

Im trying to install onto a
cyrix486slc-??Mhz
16M RAM
WDC vid card
and what looks to be a pretty stock multi IO card.

The problem is this - 
I try in install Redhat, both version 4.0 or 4.2.

The installation goes smooth, I allocated 64M for swap etc.
Then on reboot after installing the kernel loads fine...
Its when the daemons try to run the trouble starts. Linux (awk I think)
starts reporting that it cannot allocate memory because it is out of memory.

I initially thought this might be a memory management problem in the 2.0.30
kernel (I installed 4.2 first) so that is why I switched to 4.0 but with
the same results.

As far as bios settings are concerned there are very little confurable options
but I tried all the memory ones with no success. 

I am stuck. My next step is to install an old old version of slackware (Aug 95)
to make complete sure that its not a software problem. If that does work - 
can anyone recommend me a good diagnostics tool?

Thanks for any and all help.
Cheers
Brett

that it
