You're the third person to suggest RAM as the problem, so I'm more inclined to believe it now. And I can see that causing the various freezes during installation. But the error messages? How would that account for the securitypolicy and hard drive detection errors?

Hi Jason,
Welcome -
The bad news is that 32 MB is probably too little for what you have in mind using Mdk 9.
I had an old Dell with 64 MB - I eventually had to add 128 MB to make a fist of the hardware. Then it went along fine - on mdk 8.2 and now 9.0. (it chokes on Windows 98, NT and XP) . The processor will be OK but plenty of RAM really is needed - especially if you want (as I expect) a graphical User Interface. You could settle for a command line , but I doubt if that is what you really need right now.
Best,
AH.

Hi guys, new to the list, and to Linux in general. (obviously, or I wouldn't be posting here)
First of all, system specs. It's a Dell Inspiron 3200, P2-233 with 32mb RAM, 4gb HD, Neologic or somesuch video card.
