Lowmem install proceedures:
1)Boot with the first floppy and load USR addon
(because it worked).
2) Now clone to HD and press ENTER when promped
for loader method. This will clone without
installing lilo.
3) Next, reboot with the floppy still in the
drive. At boot: type "mulinuz root=/dev/hda1"
(or whichever is your root partition).
4) Press enter for Maintance Mode.
5) Start loading addons like so:
bzip2 < /dev/fd0H1722 > addon.tar
tar -xf addon.tar
rm addon.tar
/usr/xxx/bin/prolog
