A few days back, I gave DSL on a RW to my cousin. He has an old machine whose specs are:

Intel Celeron Processor 466 MHz Creative 52X CD-ROM 128 MB RAM Micro ATX External Sound Card.

I asked him to boot DSL and the computer was successfully able to boot DSL. However, his desktop was not enhanced with regular Icons, leaving him a bit clueless. I explained him how to start applications and minor details.

However, when he mounted his drive, and started playing songs, a few minutes later, his computer started to restart on its own.

Is even DSL too hungry on resources? or is it because of the old computer? (Its almost 7 years old). I have not been able to boot Knoppix on his computer.
