        As you haven't provided any details of the specific symptoms
    and/or error messages you've experienced during the installations, we
    can only guess that you have incompatible, defective, or sub-standard
    hardware. A prime candidate would be the "generic" RAM. (Btw, 128 Mb
    really isn't enough for decent performance, anyway.)
