Hello everyone,
I believe this question has been asked before, and therefore, I
apologise for asking again.
I'm wondering about alternative ways of installing linux.
I heard someone talking about installing over a serial connection, and
also heard about installing over a telnet connection.
I'm wondering which of these is possible, and with which distrobutions.
I have a pentium 166 with 16mb of ram, so any newer Redhat releases are
probably out, unless you can force it to install on a system that the
installer doesn't like.
I've heard that newer Redhat distros refuse to install on anything with
less than 64mb of RAM.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
I think you can install over a serial line with most distros. I was
trying this with slackware 8.1 which was the current version at the
time but since I didnt have a nullmodem cable it failed.
what you do and someone correct me if i'm wrong is pass the param
console=ttyS0 or something like that on the kernel commandline. It's
been a while since I did this so I forget the details.

I did an installation of Debian using the somewhat older installation
disks available at the Speakup ftp site on a Pentium II/200 which has 32
megs. I don't specifically know what the minimum RAM requirement is, but
you may want to try the recently announced Debian installer on your
system. The older one I used installed the 2.4.17 kernel, but a current
Debian installer was just announced last week.
The Debian approach should be particularly useful as it installs a
minimal system first and then allows you to pick and choose what to add.

where is this new debian installer located? I am wanting to try debian
but I'd like to install from cd and the only speakup enabled cd I can
find is ancient. it's using the 2.2.18 kernel.

Hi. Check out debian.org. Speakup is part of the standard debian
installer.
Hope this helps.

No, the installer only works for testing or unstable.

Now that my DECTalk Express, (on COM1), is fixed for now. I wish to install Linux before it goes again. I downloaded "debian-2.2r2-speakup.iso" and was wondering if I should use Nero 5.50.82 to burn the file to disk? I have Windows 98SE on my 14.2GB C:. And wish to install Linux on my 14.2 GB D:. If I burn "debian-2.2r2-speakup.iso" to a CD RW; can I put the CD into the CD ROM drive shutdown to power off and then turn the power on and have the CD boot to a talking install?

Hi. You should be able to boot the iso from the Cd, however this
functionality is apparently broken. What you should do instead is to
create a dos bootdisk by doing a sys transfer, and then run the
install.bat script to load the Debian installer into /dev/ram using
loadlin. You have to get the dosutils and edit the install.bat though.
Explorer has caused a general protection fault in module kernel32.dll. I'm sickf Winblows!
