Well, how much memory do you have? And what boot loader are you trying to install?

ok then...any ideas on how to get it to work?
I'm at my home computer now, the exact message is:
Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory
It has some other stuff too, I dunno if you need it. I'm kinda new to linux so I have no clue what it means. If you want that I'll be glad to post it. It also froze when I tried to install using the GUI....if that has anything to do with it.

Why don't you try installing LILO, and see if you get the same error message. If it works, you can then go back and install Grub later.

Either try LILO, or try a different distro. Several people I know had that exact error, but couldn't seem to get it to go away.
You could also try burning the cds again, but that may or may not work, probably not.
Red Hat 7.3 is decent if you want to try that.

During the install, tell it not to load X Windows by default. This may be called Command Promt Only or something like that. Its also known as runlevel 3 for redhat.
This should give you a text interface (DOS like) rather than a GUI. From the console you'll be able to troubleshoot your problem and figure out whats going wrong and how to fix it.
