Install help

[pwh]

I am brand new to Linux (just opened the box this morning) and am trying to install it. I have tried the install twice now on 2 different machines. One is an HP Brio and the other is an HP NetServer E800. I am trying to do a KDE workstation install and in both instances, I get to the point where the packages are installing and then the machine just sits there. I let the Brio sit for about 1/2 hour and then figured maybe the hardware was not up to par, so I tried it on the E800 with the same results. I'm sure it's something very simple, but I have no more ideas. Can someone help me out?

Thanks!

Please provide the hardware spec and the distribution of GNU/Linux that you are using? RedHat? Mandrake? SuSE?

Also, have you checked that your hardware is supported?

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

My machine is an HP Netserver E800. The specs are as follows:

866MHz CPU
SCSI CD-ROM
10.2G HD
384MB RAM

I have Redhat 6.2 as the OS.

Figures.............as soon as I post a question, I figure out what I did wrong. Anyway, it's installing as I type this. Thanks for your help though!
