Okay, on the bug - I won't worry. Actually, Caldera 3.1 couldn't make a boot floppy anyway!

It appears that Linux never gets to boot. I go through the hardware check, then get the black screen. I never see a GRUB menu or anything else. Until I did this install I would get a "Can't find Operating system" message from the BIOS but this made sense because the disks were uninitialized with nothing installed. Now I get nothing so it appears that the system tries to do something but quits.

Hmmm. Where is the MBR located on a RAID 5 partition? RAID 1 puts it in the first 512k of the disk, but RAID 5, I don't know. I'd try putting /boot on a separate partition that's not part of the RAID array. You may want to use LILO, as I've had GRUB fail on RAID arrays. LILO never has.

Question: Is it better to abide by the rules until they're changed or
help speed the change by breaking them?
