I think the whole iso does need to run in RAM,

Pretty sure that is it. I could get 13 to run (iso size 817 m) and 15 sort-of ran, but tripped up when it switched to desktop (928 m iso). Somewhere around here in an external case is the original 40gig hd out of this laptop (5400rpm - I changed to a 60 gig 7200 rpm hd when I put XP pro on it). I think I'll see what I have stashed on that drive and if not worth keeping, I'll toss it back in the laptop and try to install one of these Mints on it.. That way all I have to do to recover is put the drive with windoze back in the box..

Calling it quits for now!
