I have spent two days now with three 6 month old versions of Kalyway, iAtkos and iDeneb disks, done multiple installs, (trying various Customisation options) and all (apart from one iDeneb install,) have failed to install.
The one iDeneb install that did complete, then hung on re boot, got stuck in the re boot loop.

I have just started iDeneb 1.5.1 10.5.7 install. I have chosen no Custom options initially, just left them all as default

My problem is that I do not know what hardware I have actually got (SSE2 or SSE3, chipsets etc), so I need either someone to tell me if they recognise the following machine spec, or even a link to somewhere that may help. I have done various Google searches but come up with nothing concrete that makes any difference to the install.

The machine is a un-touched factory spec Sony Vaio tower machine, The following info came from an earlier setup attempt, using the Leopard System Profiler:

Sony Vaio
PCV-RS122(CE)
Intel Core Solo 2.41Ghz
2Gb 533 Mhz Memory

Graphics card info comes from the sticker on the front panel rather than the Sys Profiler. The graphics is not on-board, it is a plug in AGP graphics card

Graphics: NVDIA GeForce4 TI 4200.

I do have a selection of unbranded cards, (both PCi and AGP) so if that is a problem I could experiment with those.

Anyone give me a few clues as what might be a good starting point, either for custom options or what the machine I have is, so I can work it out for myself, by logic rather than guess work as is the case at present.
thanks.
