I´m not as happy as you - I tried to install RedHat 6.2 on my Jensen - but
it dont work:
I did it like discribed in
(
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha/ARCHIEVES/JENSEN_INSTALL/Jensen-HO
WTO
)
but when the system tells:
Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into ramdisk and press ENTER

I insert a disk with generic.img (copied with dd form the RH6.2 CD) the
system stops after the Message:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly

if I insert a disk with ramdisk.img (from the same CD) the system stops
after a lot of errors like
end_request: I/O error, dev 01:00 sector ...

I hope it is a trivial mistake and someone can help me
thanks helmut
