Re: [aclug-L] redhat 5.1

[jeffrey.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I installed win95 OSR2 on it to test the hardware and it's run without a
glitch for a week now (24 hours/day).  It used to boot at random intervals,
but I think I found that problem.  The install never really gripes at me,
only displays numerous registers and statuses along with some messages that
it found some of the resources (video, etc.) but nothing that says "I'm
melllltingggg."  Oh well, I guess I'll just try my luck Saturday and hope
it's nothing terminal.  I sure hope I get over this incredible mental block
regarding Linux installation.  :-/

strange...  it installed just fine on my IDE system...  i've got a P200
comp w/ a 2.1gig Quantum IDE hard drive...  never had a single error...
i've talked to other people w/ similar problems, however, and it ended
being a bad motherboard... he couldn't even install windoze on it! (he
tried just to test the system...not to use! : ^^ )
