Hy, I started the "Install horrors.." set of messages. In reality, all
6.0 install problems I had stemmed from my own errors. Once I took care
of those, installation went swiftly and easily, like it always has
since I first installed rh5.1 last summer on an old Compaq 486.
And 6.0 automatically configured lilo so that I can boot to either the
Linux harddrive or the win95 hard drive on my Micron pentium.
adios, steve winston
