| 136228 | 2003-04-16 07:59:00 | Hey On my old computer - 233Mhz, 64MB Ram, 2GB HDD and a 4GB HDD Partitioned into 2x 2GB partitions, I have been unable to do anything with this machine. I have tried installing Windows 98 and that hasn't been working, I can get it up to copying files (10% done), but that's it, and I can get Windows95 fully installed, except come boot time it just freezes once it has all the devices listed from BIOS (with their com ports). With a little luck I've been able to get into Windows at random times, but come reboot it gets stuck again, and on my attempt to Install RedHat 9.0 I could tell it I wanted to use the graphical interface, and then it said loading *name of RH Installer*, then froze on that... Any Idea's what's going on?? Thanks CyberChuck |
