Stew, Added another 32MB ram an it seems fixed. New problem now, not major, but something to look into. The Powercomputing has an onboard ATI card, and the graphical install runs, but the screen is shifted 50% to the left, so the left side of the monitor shows the middle of the picture, and it wrpas around to the right side. Installer still works, just a little goofy lookin'.
Again, any ideas ?
