Description of Problem: on the 7.2 box is stated a minimum of 32 MB is required for a text install, but this is not enough Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. start installation 2. 3. Actual Results: Some rpms are reported to be faulty. this happens randomly, i.e. it's not always the same rpm making problems. I used original cds. it let's you go on with installation, but a lot of things won't work Expected Results: install 7.2 Additional Information: it was on an old compaq deskpro with 32 MB ram. I tried to install in text mode. I had something like 100-150MB swap. My guess is the machine was just swapping too much. I have a adaptec aic7xxx scsi controller with attached cdrom and hdd. upgrading to 256MB installed from same cds with no problems.
We've done both installs and upgrades on systems with 32 megs; are you sure you're not having problems reading the media (looking in /tmp/install.log from tty2 could be handy to determine that)
the machine was just not reacting anymore, so I was not able to switch console. as long the installation was proceding I checked in all the VC, but I couldn't find anything too strange
Please check the md5sum of the install media.
