I had the same with RED HAT. What I did is the following
1. I started a install of Caldera. I then aborted out of it. Now my
disk was trashed.
2. Reinstalled Red-Hat seamed stable. Still crashed
3. Got mandrake from a Magazine made boot disk and reinstalled.
They say you can reinstall over corrupted but I think it is better to
start out fresh.
My troubles with Red Hat were 1. couldn't get printer to work 2.
Couldn't get to internet -modem would dial.
Now with Madrake -printer works fine. I never hear the modem start so
I'm down to 1 problem. An improvement but still not right. when I got to
internet I only see netscape and not kppp.
take care Chuck Dunkirk
