OP
ok you do that, but be patient it may just sit there for even two hours (and not respond) but it is just thinking. I had overdrive on my 486 and it sat there for maybe an hour just waiting.
 
it was in the beginning on the startup
 
let us know how it goes.

Get about 256 MB of RAM and you could run just about anything with no problem. The more the memory the better off you are. The memory usage under Linux is similar to 2000 from what I understand (thanks to the X window system).
