I have tryed to install corel on 3 different machines, all 3 failed,
Fisrt one had a SiS AGP card, the video is terible one cant read any text
making an install impossable.

Second machine has a seirel mouse on ttyS0, it does not get detected,
making it also impossable.

Third machine locks up half way tho' i have no explanation why.

Like i said in the origanal reply, corel is dos based in the way IT wants
to install ITSELF.

Another thing is corel overwrite's the MBR without asking, however it does
take into consideration other linux partitions found on the system and adds
images to boot the old partitions.

I have yet to install corel without a hitch on a machine.
