   Many thanks for all the responses! Thusly reassured, I bought Redhat
5.2. Results were less than spectacular. One of my hard drives (/usr) had
lost it's partition data, which gave me the idea to upgrade.
(subsequent media and format tests check out OK). Before I bought Redhat, I
tried the "Caldera Lite" CDROM, which installed and seem to run fine. But
when I installed Redhat, it crashes hard when I try to run X. I've sent
Redhat a message about it, and I'll continue to work on it, but it IS very
dissapointing to have the "easy-install" system crash on me!
