I have 160 Mb RAM on a 2 Gb HD. 150 Mb of that 2 Gb is used for OS8. So about 1,85 Gb is available for Linux.
With Mandrake also recommended installation failed, I observed the same crash. What kind of HD do you use ? I have an old Compaq PC SCSI (Seage Barracuda?) drive. But the installation also failed on the SCSI disk that was already in the machine (an IBM 1 Gb drive).
