I have a P-133 with 64M RAM and it took me around 40-50 minutes.
And you'll need to mention how big your Linux Native partition is and
also about your swap partition. It seems like you're running out of
disk space, mostly.

Either a bad media or a disk space problem, I guess. Did you try
reinstalling Linux on that box. If so, what happened?
