I just finished downloading SantaFe Linux and burned the ISO to disk yada yada yada. Anyway here my problem, its starts to load up just fine but when it gets to the final stage and starts to load the desktop and the start bar it just freezes. Sometimes I get a startbar, other times I get a startbar with a start button, sometimes the start button and a little button beside it etc. The farthest ive gotten is the start bar wiuth start button, little button beside it, and the clock. but then FREZE! and i have to restart all over again.

Anybody know why?
And can I fix it?

SantaFe is RUNNING DIRECTALLY from the CD (live CD as they call it)

I have a PII 300mghz proc (in the slot one flavor) on a IN440EX mobo made by BCM or GVC. using award bios version 4.51pg, 128 megs of pc66ram (on a single DIMM), two hard drives (3.24 master with windows 98SE on it and 40 gig (RECOGNISED only as 32 gig. I need to flash my BIOS), two CDROM drives with linux booting off a 4x lite-on, a NIC in PCI slot 2, an INTEGRATED ati rage pro, and a integrated ESS SOLO 1. sound chip.

If you need any more info ask away!
