Hello all. I just bought a used laptop and am trying to install Redhat
5.1 on it. When I try to boot the 5.1 install disk it shows me the
multi-colored welcome screen with the boot: at the bottom just like
normal, but when I hit return it acts like it's going to boot and then
after a littl while it hangs and says boot failed.
It's a 486 DX4 75
Compaq Contura 420c
540 MB HDD
24 MB Ram
If you've got any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.
TIA.
~Cory
