So New I have an Umbillical Cord

[Nick]

HD is ok i think, 500mb above the minimum and i can get it to load KDE 
using the failsafe mode but not anything else and you can't use it in 
that state because of the poor res.

Memory might be a problem as its only got 96mb. But I thought linux was 
able to work on older machines with lower specs?

Thanks for the input Chuck, any help right now is appreciated
