HELP!!!!

I've been up till well after the bewitching hour, two nights in a row,
and
still not able to get redhat to run.

It seems to now recognize everything on my system, but, when it starts
to
load the system files, the whole system locks up after 20mb has been
transferred from the CD.

The system is a 75mhs pentium, 2 hdd, 2.1 and a 1.2. The 1.2, (secondary

disk) has been divided into a 256mb, for windows, the rest for Linux.
The
Linux part is then further subdivided by the Linux boot system into 96mb

swap, and the rest for the system. (c927mb).

Everything appears to work fine until the system files begin to load.
After
20mb is downloaded, everything just locks. Not even the 3 finger salute
will get out of it. Have to turn the computer off to recover??

Anyway, very tired tonight, so back to windows. Sorry guys. Perhaps
someone
has the magic answer?? Perhaps I should give more info, but, I'm not
able
to think what.

One thing that does come to mind though, when I've finished partitioning

with the druid, the swap section formats, the native partition doesn't
seem
to?? Does this happen before the system files start to download?? Is
that
what the lengthy crunching and groaning is about??

Cheers, and thanks for reading.
Rick

ps - Trying to install from the APC's 'the linus pocket book' cd.
