I've just been through a very similar process.  I tried Red Hat,
Mandrake, Slackware.  All the dists I've had experience with.  No luck. 
I was able to install Debian (potato) on this box successfully.  Almost
the same configuration. (~200 meg drive/8 mb ram/laptop).

If I had it to do all over again, I'd start with Debian.
