Hello everyone. I'm trying to use DBAN on a Compaq Presario 2200 runninig Windows 98! The machine is several years old. The program seems to boot and then hangs. I am trying to use the "interactive mode." Here is what I get on the screen:

boot:
Loading kernel.bzi . . . . . . . . . .
Loading initrd.gz . . . . . .
Ready.
Uncompressing Linux . . . Ok, booting the kernel. Please wait . . .

Then, nothing else happens.
