Ai... that's not a lot of ram... What type of machine is it? I'm not
sure if alpha cooker will run on old alpha's ( < ev5).

I used RedHat's rawhide distro, and then started rebuilding the packages
(the last time I checked alpha-cooker hadn't been updated for some time).

I don't know if the installer is working yet, I've yet to test this.

It's running fine on my box. i only bumped into a few issues when
migrating from the rawhide kernel:
- Mandrake doesn't support ext2 labels, so I had to edit /etc/fstab and
tell it to mount /dev/sda2 on /
- I had to setup the initrd since the rawhide kernel has the scsi
drivers compiled in.
