I´m pretty new to this Linux-thing, though VERY tired of slow microsoft products and looking for a fast, small and easy operating system for my old laptop.

My problem is simply that I can only start dsl from live-cd every third time or so, two-out-of-three times it seizes during boot. And when I make a hdd-install it seizes during boot every time.

Is this a compatibility issue? or could I be missing something important.

My system is a compaq armada 110, 700MHz or so with 96MB ram.
Thanks for everey little help I can get!
Maybe someone knows about another distro thats more suitable for me?

Which bootlabels and cheatcodes are you using?
