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

[Just Do it]

Initially I have only 128MB so my default installtion was text mode..but
fails..
Then I buy another 128MB stick... then it switch to graphical mode...still
fails...
I remember I tried the text mode installation with 256MB RAM.

And also leave my PC several night...hope to get some good result...but
fails...
:-)
I desperately like to use Linux... so tried several time...going crazy
here....

For my PC...
mandriva 2007 (live CD as well as Harddisk installation working fine)
Xubuntu 6.10 working fine
Ubuntu server working fine( currently working on)
But OpenSuse10.1 failed
Ubuntu 6.10 failed
Knoppix failed

Hope I could somehow able to work on Fedora 6.

Thanks!
