Thank you for making these available! I was dreading the day I might have to do a "from scratch" install after a catastrophic hardware failure.

If nothing else, the installation media will be valuable in determining how much of my current environment is obsolete and should be removed.

Hello!
I have tryed it on an AlphaStation 255/300, but after ncurses installation menu, "killed" message printed on screen and no finish.

Regards,
Rafa

Hi Rafael,

I just finished an installation on AlphaServer 1000A/500 (with 512MB RAM) myself. How much RAM does your machine has? I can imagine you need more? Maybe try again?

Hello!
I have tryed it on an AlphaStation 255/300, but after ncurses installation menu, "killed" message printed on screen and no finish.

I have successfully built working systems on a PWS 500au and a DS10L using both the NETINST and CD flavors of ISOs.

Can you describe the problem more completely? Which ISO are you using? What is the exact text of the failure message?
