Please don't quote the whole digest, and don't quote any of it if it
has nothing to do with your query.  Customize the Subject line to fit
your subject, something descriptive, as I have done.  See

for many valuable clues.

128 Meg of RAM should be more than enough.  IIRC, 64M is the minimum.
Please post the error message(s) and describe at what point the
install failed.

I think we need more information.  The Hardware compatibility list

http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/

turned up nothing useful.  A Google of "TLAN TNETE100APGE linux"
turned up two hits, the second of which says it is supported in the
kernel.  "TLAN", I gather, is short for ThunderLAN, based on a TI
chipset.  If this is in the problem machine, wait until you get Linux
installed and we'll deal with it there.
