[expert] Failed MDK 7.0 Installation

[�[-��mm�^��v�^����4룣�-]�]

Hello ...

      I'm a newbie with LINUX and I was installing MDK 7.0 on my desktop
computer but the installation hangs up after the message:   "Loading Second
RAM Disk ..." just before the GUI installation of Mandrake ...

    Here are the specs of the computer:

    Pentium III - 550e
    32 MB RAM
     8 GB with 3 partitions:
            hda1 - (2 GB) contains Windoze 98
            hda2 - (3 GB) supposed to contain the MDK LINUX after-install
            hda3 - (3 GB) contains the MDK LINUX  7.0 installer ... I am
only installing via Hard Disk and not CD ROM ...

    Is there a problem with my FDISK (Windoze version) partitioning ??
Should I follow the 1024 cylinder thing for the LILO ... is that why it
hangs-up ??  Or must the Windoze and Linux be on physically separate hard
disks ??
