Since my Windows crashed, and I am now running on an old linux Suse 8.0, on a small partition, I was looking forward to reinstall linux as the only OS, with a newer version: Suse 9.2.
After a day of work, the system administrator of the company I work for was not able to install linux on my weird computer (ACER 340). The first problem we had to face was that having an external CDROM (and Floppy) it would never boot from there. Ever. Period. So we had to move all the files to the HD. Even then it was not trivial to convince him (male and bastard) to load from the HD. And when we managed we got an “EBDA too big” error. He tried changing the ‘magic’, but then concluded that my ‘magic’ was of the wrong kind 
.
Then we tried to start it under windows and we got a:
“WARNING not enough free memory (load buffer size)”
Which was a similar error: something is too big and the memory is too small. In any case he was able to fix my windows system so for the next months I will keep on using windows and asap I will switch to linux.
Linux don’t run away, our union is just postponed.
