Help !!

I have just recieved the latest version of RedHat and I'm trying to install
it onto a Dual Pentium Pro with 128mb of RAM and 2 3.8Gb IDE Hard disks.

At this point I should probably mention that I have absolutely NO
Unix/Linux experience.

The install program seems to work OK, setting up mouse, video, etc. I have
partitioned the first hard drive into 3 native partitions + 1 Linux swap
partition ( as per the book that accompanied the CD ).

All seems to go well ( except the Ethernet card :- a Realtek 8029 PCI full
duplex card, any suggestions appreciated) when asked about LILO I choose to
write to the MBR and the restart.

The machine only gets as far as  * LI * then hangs. 

What have I done wrong ???


Thanks,

Thomas
