Fedora 6 is not able to install in PIII, 256MB SD RAM, 1.3GHz

[Just Do it]

I think I tried it once......memtest86....but every thing seemed to be
fine...

I checked both my RAM and Harddisk using diffrent tools...but everything
seemed to be fine..

For memtest86...I think it is checking RAM??? plz confirm...or it is
checking bad sector in Hard disk.....

Still, Thanks for quick reply I will try it..lets hope it work out....
