Hi All

I have tried to install a version of enigma on an old PC the configuration
of the PC follows:

Pentium-S 200 Mhz
49152 Mb Ram
4Gb - SCSI HDD
AHA 1540CR SCSI controller
HITACHI CDR-7730 (See http://CDR-7730.ora-code.com) - IDE CDROM
S3 65 Virge Graphic Card
Serial Mouse

I started the installation by booting the computer into DOS and running the
autoboot.bat found in
\dosutils on the CD.

I get a list of text then a blue screen followed by:

Running anaconda - please wait...
Install exited abnormally -- recieved signal 11
(unmounts devices and stop with the following message)
you may safely reboot your system

When installation tried from a boot floppy, the installation end with the
following:

kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

Can anyone help.

Thanks
James
