I recently purchased a Dell Latitude CPi R notebook computer. It is a 400Mhz/128Mb machine with a 6Gb hard drive. I'm trying to install RedHat 7.1 on it. I have been running RH 7.1 on my desktop (Dell Dimension, 1Ghz/128Mb, 40Gb hard drive) for about a year and half now, installing it numerous times from the same CDs that I'm not using to install Redhat on my notebook. The problem is is that the installation freezes nearly every time when I try to install onto the notebook. At first I had a dell 28.8 modem and a cardbus ethernet card in the pcmcia slots. RH 7.1 does not support the ethernet card so I took that out thinking maybe that was the problem. This did not work; however, instead of simply freezing during the install there was a different sort of problem and everything unmounted and I had to shutdown and try again. When I tried again it froze. So then I took out the modem thinking that might work. This did in fact work one time, but I was not satisfied with the install. I had the option of installing Gnome, KDE, games, or a combination of them. The one time it worked I chose to install Gnome and not to specify which packages to install. I actually want Gnome, KDE, some games, and some other packages installed. So I re-ran the install but this time in order to update; however it recommended that I have a swap space of at least 256Mb in order to update, and I only had a swap of 188Mb. So I figured maybe that was the problem and I reran the entire installation, this time giving myself a 400Mb swap partition, a 40Mb boot parition, and then the root '/' partition on the remaining 5.8Gb. I tried the install again with the packages I wanted and it didn't work, so I tried just installing the Gnome again with the larger swap so I could upgrade afterwards and that didn't work either. Does anyone have any ideas or are there details that I left out that could be helpful that I'm not thinking of? By the way, when I say the installation "didn't work" that means it freezes up and just sits there during the install, so that I eventually have to power down and retry the install. Thanks...
