Folks

I have an ancient machine that ran FC1 just fine.

However, now when I boot from the installation CD (1), and enter
  linux text
the system reboots itself.

I can't get out of this loop.

Should I discard the computer, or is there some magic boot parameter that might work?
Or some alternate solution, since floppys are too small.

Thanks

David

I have a similar system and after finally getting it to run FC4, it was so incredibly slow that I went with another distro (Gentoo) that I could tweak and pare down to the point that it could run a gui and some other things like apache.
