Yeah, I installed from the CD. But that image is for amd64, correct? a 64 bit processor? My junk computer is an old gateway, with a celeron D, a whopping 256 MB of ram, and a full 100 GB hard disk space. But since this is 32 bit to my knowledge, would a possible solution involve making a bootable flash disk from this distribution within my installation?


i don't see any confirmation, but it looks like the install was from the cd image?
if so, i recommend using the usb install image instead

this *should* fix all those issues.  posting a few details on the processor might
be helpful in figuring out any issues.
