Problem installing WOODY

[DAINOTTO B. <sk...@fr...>]

Hello all !

I'm a Linux newbie and I'm trying to install a Debian Woody on my
machine.

I don't know if it is the appropriate list for a newbie, so, please, forgive
me if I bother you with my (stupids) questions. Just tell me and I will
stop posting.

My config : A1200+BlizzardPPC 603e/240 060/50+BVision+64 Mo ram.
1.4 Go IDE disk, SCSI CD-Rom drive, Whippet.

Now my problem :

When I try to launch the Debian installer (bootstrap --apus -k linux.bin -r
root.bin root=/dev/ram
video=pm2fb:mode:800x600-60)

I get this message :

"The kernel will be located at 0x46000000
Kernel is compressed
Uncompressing kernel image......................

Compressed image is too large ! Aborting

crc errorDecompression error --aborting"

I have "manualy" uncompressed LINUX.BIN, and then I can launch the
installer, choose my language, and the machine freeze at the "release
notes" page (the page is half displayed, no more heartbeat...).

Does anybody know what is going on ?

Thanks in advance for ANY help.
