Hi,
I Have a Compaq presario Laptop with AMD Athlon Processor/128mb
ram/20Gb HDD when i tried to install Redhat linux in that laptop the
installer hangs the kernel log says that it cannot access the CDROM
but the laptop boots from the CDROM. But after sometime the network
installation option opens and asks for the image file in FTP or NFS
server.
But when i tried with the ubuntu linux it installs perfectly in the
laptop. Can anyone help me to install Redhat Linux in the Laptop
Thanks

RH9 is ancient, Ubuntu isn't, that's why Ubuntu installed and RH9 didn't.
If you want to use a Redhat distro on that box you should try Fedora Core
6 or a RHEL 4 clone like Scientific Linux 4.4 or CentOS 4.4. However with
just 128M of RAM no heavyweight Linux distro is going to work very well,
not Ubuntu, not FC6. You might try Xbuntu which uses a lightweight window
manager, or Damn Small Linux which is geared to tiny memory systems like
yours. If you want to use Gnome or KDE you'll need at least 384M, more
would be better.
Thanks for your suggestion But now i tried with mandrake 10.1 now its
working fine
