Mandrake8.1 on older hardware

[Robert Meyer]

Make sure that you don't have flakey memory.  That is the number one reason
that a Mandrake box would hang randomly.

All of the logs are in /var/log.  The main one that you're interested in is
'messages'.  Big time problems will be very evident in the log file.

Hope this helps...

Cheers!
