Thanks again to werk. i set up my account without the stupid CD.

verizon is pretty decent in terms of speed. 3MB down (well my down was 6MB with RR) and 900k up (which is a definite plus compared to crappy 384k on RR since i host FTP and a website... which is now on port 81 sadly)

Fix your BIOS settings not to reserve the last 2MB and it will work because 2048 = 2GB (MB) OR upgrade to 4GB because that will definitely be enough.

read pic again. they require 2MB... mine is 2046MB... and it thinks its less than that.

the CD is basically flash demo, and they need 2MB of RAM, they probably never bothered to say anything > 2 is okay, and did anything between 2 to 1024

The program is looking for integer numbers in megabytes of a certain range. 2046 probably created an overflow in the megabyte range so it mis-interpreted it as 2046 kilobytes instead of 2046 megabytes. So if your system had the full 2048 megabytes available it would have passed it as recognizing it as 2048 kilobytes which squeak by as the bare minimum. Having fun yet?

Heh. Heh. Reminds me of when I had the Comcast installer run the CD.

Due to my isolated location and complete skepticism that it was going to work, I paid for installation. Had him sit in a folding chair in front of a monochrome monitor connected to a Windows Server 2003 rig and install it - and then right after he's finished, I tap the reset button and it boots Linux.

"Thanks."
