Hi,

I don't know about that, but is it on a slave drive?  Another thing
you might want to try is using a distribution that has GRUB instead of
LILO.  I'm not an expert on technical matters, but some years back I
did have Linux running on a Celeron with 128 MB RAM, coexisting with
Windows 98.  I started with PCQLinux 8, IIRC.  Later on FC 1 and FC 3
also worked on the same hardware.

All the best with your reinstallation!
