When ever I try to install Mandrake 8.2, I get seg faults. Yet memtest86 reports ok when doing it's default thing, but when I mess arrourd with some settings it will decide that either I have no ram at all, or that I have about 4gb, and freeze either time. I only have 512mb of PC133, in a P3 1Ghz. any suggestions?
