I've got a homemade dual PIII 800MHz machine with 512MB of RAM that I use
for
my OS Restores. It's done RaQ3, 4, and 550 installs without problem. The
only
thing that I've noticed with that particular system is that if I have two CD
Drives connected in the machine, booting from the CD will fail with a kernel
panic. If I disconnect one of the CD drives (doesn't matter which one, as
long as the Restore CD is in the drive that's connected), then life is good.
