check memory
What is the minimum memory required for a stage 1 install? This is an old Toshiba 2505CDS with only 32Mb of memory.
I think you can get by with 32MB, just make sure you have plenty swap space. 512MB , 1GB may be?
I had a machine with 32MB that I had to retire, because even with 384MB of swap, it would die quite often during compiles. Yes, I could have gotten a bigger drive/more swap, but I decided against it.
Changing the size of the swap solved this issue. Thanks for all the help.
