I am trying this installation out first on a dummy computer, beacause i'm afraid i might mess my other one up. first comp: compaq pentium 1 Running window$ 98 300mhz 64mb ram close to 9gig hard drive No dual boot i just want this to run linux. Sorry, i dont know what motherboard. Where can i find out? second comp: sony vaio PCV-RX881 Running XP 2.66ghz pentium 4 512mb ram 120GB hard drive 64mb nVidia Geforce 4 graphics card I burnt the iso image at 8X using nero 6 and checked the size of download. The size posted was 652mb myne was 651mb when finished. Thank You for your help.

Let me just tell u what i've done so far. I downloaded the iso image with get-right and burned the image to a cd/R with the latest version of nero. I didn't check it with md5sum because i dont know how to, but i'm assuming the download was good. I restart my comp and run it. It asks me to press "f1" for options or press "enter" for installation. I press "enter". I dont get very far after i press "enter" because i get an error when its searching for something. The error says something like "hdd5 inturrupt" or something like that. I'm really confused. Can someone help me to set up my bios. By the way what is "bios". hmm... Or should i just quit 9.2 and try 9.0. I heard it was good. Can someone please shed some light on this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
