I am consistently getting a page fault on installation of 2.0.5 
walnut creek CDROM, on one machine only (am486dx4-100, 8M RAM 
408M hd, will be BSD only, no other OS partitions), it installs 
fine on another system (am486dx4-120 12M RAM, shared with 
win95)

any idea what is happening?  I have memory parity checking 
disabled in bios, although I have two identical 72pin simms - 
70ns.

           Thanks in advance,
           pglennon@slip.net
