I am totally new to Linux. I am attemtping to load RedHat linux 4.2 onto
a 486 laptop with 4 megs of RAM, the hard drive is completely clean
except for the RedHat files. When I restart with the boot disk in it
runs okay then I get this message:
Partition Check:
hda: hda1
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
out of memoryVFS: cannot open root device 08:02
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!

I think you need 8Mb to install Red Hat. This affects the Red Hat
install program, but not Linux in general. There will be other
distributions that allow an install in 4Mb. Don't know which ones
offhand. Good luck!
