Hello Rumen, |

Well, I used 'install-x86-minimal-2006.1.iso' and it ran for a while |
| 21 |
before hanging. Here are the last few steps after the keymap was |
| 22 |
selected by default: |
| 23 |
Mounting squashfs filesystem |
| 24 |
Copying read-write image contents to tmpfs |
| 25 |
No cdupdate.sh script found, skipping... |
| 26 |
Booting (initramfs)... |
| 27 |
|

<< hung >> |

either the arch is incompatible or it does not like the ram (192 MB)...? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
thoughts and ideas? |
