Im tring to install Me on a PII 64mb w/ 4Gb Hd, ( I Know its a Baby)I have replaced the Hd with another 4Gb and i have fdisk it , formated it and i still get "KERNEL : unable to initalize heap" how do i get around this?????
 
I'd guess you have hardware issues. If the machine has expansion cards for sound, network, modem etc, disconnect and try install again (also if > 1 optical drive, just have one & don't have any other peripherals attached). If ok, try reconnecting one at a time. If you have other RAM available, try that (or if the 64 is 2x32, try each on its own).
 
Ive had the same problem quite a few times and it is always seem to be the memory
