Have you checked your memory? You can do a memory check with the
installation disk.

Why would that be a problem?
It could be faulty, or not compatible with your board. That happens.
And how do you do a memory test with the F7 installation disk?
Run memtest86+ from the prompt, see the F key hints for help. Boot the
install disc, read the text, don't start installing.
Hi Tim and yes RPM was low. I have just 1/2 a gb now but tomorrow
the Brown Truck brings me 2 gb of 450 MHz Ram. That may well stop a
memory problem. Here is top from this old computer right now:
top - 18:28:51 up 3:02, 1 user, load average: 0.73, 0.32, 0.13
Tasks: 117 total, 1 running, 114 sleeping, 0 stopped, 2 zombie
Cpu(s): 6.0%us, 3.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 90.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.1%hi, 0.0%si,
0.0%st
Mem: 482720k total, 476252k used, 6468k free, 16796k buffers
Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 220196k cached
My swap is real small and that could be a problem too.
