Hi,

The slinky installer is ideal for your purposes. It installs no problem 
on 16 meg 486s with 200 meg hard drive. And this isn't the minimum 
configuration either.

A big advantage of the slinky installer is that all the custom 
configuration you want is available by editing files with the list of 
packages you need. Slinky also allows for pre and post install 
scripts to be run for each package. And it installs from almost any 
media.

When I install on a 486 with no CD ROM I move the Red Hat iso 
image to a hard drive and then mount it as the second drive on the 
system. Slinky will mount the iso image and install from it. This 
same hard drive can then be moved to the next system needing a 
slinky install.

Thanks,

Larry
