Hello all,

I'm installing debian lenny on an ibook g4 800mhz 360+mb ram and the
installation process keeps freezing during various points of the
installation during various installation attempts. Most commonly during the
partintioning or during the installation  of the base system. The farthest
I've gotten in the installation of the base system is 98% then it froze. I
am not sure what the problem here is. It seems that the longer period of
time that the machine is off, the farther it can go through with the
installation.

I got the ibook from a friend with no hard drive. I put a 160gb seagate hard
drive in, pata. I have tried installing ubuntu, opensuse, and now debian.
Debian is the only installer that has gotten this far without any other
problems.

Any help would be appreciated. I am new to linux, though I strongly support
the concept of community run open source software development and the free
distribution of information.

Thank You,

tomislav
