Upup Raring 3.8.7 live pfix=ram on the trusty Athlon XP box..... quick test before installing.Display,sound and internet all working and correct on initial boot. Have the dreaded faded and missing icons but assume that nouveau.noaccel=1 will take care of it when I install.
First time I launched SeaMonkey it crashed........ launched from the terminal to see any possible error messages and now it will not crash..... naturally.I did get this little error message upon launching but SeaMonkey is working.

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
