[linux-help] Re: Why RedHat 5.1 never installed, or Kickstart my scuzzy heart

["D. Shane Robinson" <sean_orion@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Yes, issues of my system not being up to spec for at least 7.x
(haven't checked 6.x yet). I've been chastised for running a 486, but
for the moment that is what I have. Hope to upgrade to Gigahertz
technology by the end of the year, but school and bills are more
important right now.
