you could also try a different distro. I have had a machine signal 11 everytime on a machine or another get a corupt rpm db right after install everytime using redhat, tried another distro (debian in my case) and never saw the problem again. not saying redhat is a bad distro, probably just some package had a problem with my hardware ***cough***java-sdk***cough*** (in my case)

just a thought

Just a thought as well...

Are you doing the "GUI" install or text? If GUI, run the install in text mode. There may be insufficient RAM there for it to run the GUI install and install packages. You said in the beginning you were running "98 megs of ram." Since you're trying to do the present install with 32, was the other stick 64, so it's actually 96? If the other is 64, can you try the install with that stick instead of the 32?

I have had old boxes with 64 RAM that you couldn't do the GUI install because of all kinds of errors but I would be sucessful installing when resorting to text mode.
