I have had difficulties - not really linux related but it's the only OS I've run in several years - but likely hardware issues on an older Pentium 100 mainboard. Getting the BIOS to see the CDROM is very problematic if it is set to anything other than master, with two drives in the system. I toook that advice (learned from experience) and when I put together my existing athlon box I put the CDROM on the secondary IDE channel (/dev/hdc). Of course, your mileage may vary. FWIW dept: I attempted to install 9.0 back in September using a net image - i.e., boot from floppy and get it from predownloaded RPMS - no go. Ruined my box :(. I got some friends to mail me CD-ROMs as I have no burner here. > Diane
