I've built a bunch of these as firewall/routers, usually the P120 flavor
with about 16M of RAM.

The RH 5, 6, and 7.2 installs worked fine for me, although I studiously
avoided trying to do anything with X.  As I recall, the installs that
defaulted to X did lock up.

Make sure you have the most recent BIOS flashed to your ROM.  That WILL make
a difference.  You should be able to boot to the install CD.
