[ale] Cyrix 233 CPU

[Dow Hurst]

Another idea on the SuSE side is that the CDROM may not be recognized 
properly by the install routines.  The effect is when you try to get 
into the section for modifying the software to be installed.  It just 
hangs.  You'd need to use a different CDROM at that point.  Can you boot 
from a floppy with Tom's Root Boot?
