I tried to install 2.0.5r on a 486 with 6 mbs ram - I used both the orig 
boot and the one in updates.

After doing the sysinstall part, it asks for the root diskette - I put it 
in, it does its thing and then asks for the next diskette.

What next diskette?

I note the size of root.flp in ftp.cdrom.com is only 364k in size - but I 
dont know if it supposed to be.

In any event I cant get any further than this - any ideas?
