Can anyone give me any tips on running "install" on a Dell XP Laptop?
This has 32MB ram, IDE 1.XGB disk (>1024 cyl) and a Future Domain scsi
adapter (950).

It creeps along during the install boot process and will not get past
the wd (disk drive) detection.  It locks up solid every time (over 20)
except for one time where it claimed it couldn't find the CD so I had to
abort.. on that try it also zipped through the boot process like it is
supposed to.


Thanks for any help.
