Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2004-07-26 23:35:21 EDT

How much memory is in the machine?

Comment 3 Vinícius de Melo Rocha 2004-07-27 06:40:28 EDT

The problem was that the swap was not formated, so it bugged when it
ask for the second instalation disk. The problem now is that the GRUB
does not work.

By the way, the computer have 128M of RAM memory.
