Ok after much frustration and compiling my own kernel out of desperation on another machine. I can now load 6.06 on my Core 2 sytem. Unfortunatly i cant get the GUI to work.

Specs are
Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13Ghz
Intel DG965WH motherboard
1Gb (2*512Mb sticks) DDR2 RAM
80Gb SATA HDD
PATA DVD burner that i will soon replace

After it tried to boot GUI i get a flash
tried Xstart and get

I admire your courage and persistence! You'll learn Linux at a rapid rate.

Whenever you change kernels it borks your xserver. Once you get your desktop back you will need to reinstall your graphics driver. A good page on X problems is here:

This page is not as comprehensive but much more understandable to an ex Windows user:
