It works fine on 8MB systems - you shouldn't have any trouble!
If you're seeing this reported it's probably either the result of the amount of memory being misdetected by the kernel. You can override this by adding mem=96M to the kernel options in syslinux.cfg, on the floppy.
(I'm presuming you actually have 96MB; 98304KB = 1024 * 96)

I tried the mem=96 and mem=98, the bios shows 98, i am thinking that there is a problem with the computer, or the memory. thank u so much for the feed back.
