Very Computer

I have finally been able to install Red Hat 3.0.3 successfully, but when I
bootup, it gets stuck right after the:

         starting sendmail: sendmail

message. I can type anything, but if has no effect. CTRL-ALT-DEL results in

INIT: Runlevel: 6
INIT: Sending process to TERM

or something similar to that. I am running Linux with 24MB physical RAM and a
16MB swap, on a 150MB main Linux partition. Win95 runs on my main DOS
partition.

If someone can help me, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much,
MZ33062

I don't know RedHat 3.0.3, but installed RedHat 4.0. In 4.0 rebooting pauses at
the very same command; maybe, it still has the same problem. Look at the Errata
list on their Web-page. You might change HOSTNAME=localhost to
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain in /etc/sysconfig/network. My system pauses only
a second or so.
HOWEVER, I cannot "dip" using ppp-protocoll to my office anymore! It gives a
"hostname lookup failure". Any idea on that???
