Me too! A 2008 Dell Inspiron 530, 2.4 mhz E4600 Core Duoconroe with 3
gigabytes of ram is not exactly bleeding edge tech. A QEMU VM with
these specs works just fine. I tried both the 0.4.0 release and the
latest trunk build. Both install CDs generally freeze at the first
step, the language selection screen. If I pound away at the {ENTER} key
before the language screen comes up, it does get to the "Press ENTER to
install ReactOS" screen. But then it freezes there.
