Problem with Installing fedora 7 on an older machine :/

So that didn't help? Oh well, I would say, on to Debian Etch. Stable and supported, uses Gnome by default but you can install a different desktop later. It may be somewhat harder to configure, however, but that's almost unavoidable if you try to install something with a GUI on an older system.

btw, you need only the first cd (unless you haven't got an internet connection)

Man you scared me i see 20 CD's i cry! man wow... I'll try it

Update:
Ok i get errors while trying to install the base system and won't let me continue :/
So i'm trying the Network install and XFCE one maybe they will work. (this is such a pain)...

It seems that you really haven't got any luck with that computer. Did it run Linux before? It's beginning to look as if it has some part that is not 100% Linux compatible. I hope you have better luck with the other install methods, Debian has many. If not, you may want to have a look at Mepis AntiX.
