1 Hi,
2
3 I have an old Pentium machine with 64MB RAM that I planned to install
4 Gentoo.
5
6 I download Gentoo x86 minimal ISO and burn it to disk. The disk was able to
7 boot, but not able to give the command prompt, with error "cp: write error:
8 No space left on device" during copying to tempfs
9
10 This symptom is reproducible in Virtualbox with 64MB RAM.
11
12 Any idea how to overcome this issue?
13
14 Gentoo documentation mention that Gentoo should be installable on 64MB RAM
15 machine.
16
17 Thanks.
