We'll return to Terry Wood and All's
discussion of Getting Prepared for install

 TW> This machine has 4mb of ram, but it was previsouly running Slackware
 TW> 1.2.13 with squid, apache, etc (believe it or not! :) until i ditched
 TW> if for a much better machine and installed 2.0.29 rh4.1 on it.  Now
 TW> this lowely machine is doing nothing i thought i would put together
 TW> all my old h/ware (which i know is working fine) and make a small
 TW> linux box.

 TW> It doesnt get to the stage where it even asks if i want to do a ftp
 TW> install or anything it just sits at an orange screen doing nothing
 TW> after it asks if i have a color monitor or not, i can change consoles
 TW> to see the ^F3 'Stage 1 Redhat linux 4.1' (not exactly those words,
 TW> but something to that effect) and another console with the dmesg
 TW> startup info..

You may be short of RAM.  Try manually mounting your swap file, then
running the install.
