impossible!!Help appreciated


 MACK , if this was a cover version from news vendor , the disk was
corrupt!
 Do you live in UK or USA? If UK could send a working copy. Let me know


 *Ouch*  well, I guess they tried...

 anyway, looking at your system specs you may want to be cautious.  I
 installed 8.0 on a system very similar to yours 2 weeks ago, except the
only
 thing that makes it run halfway decent is that the ram was upgraded to 96
 MB.

 would it be a good Idea to install the older kernal (2.2.19) and the older
 XF86 instead?

 How is that done again?  :0

Installed all O.K. on my PC , is your machine having any other problems?
Sometimes it's just a case of every PC being so individual you may need
better advice than i can give to see if there may be a specific problem.
Hope you can get a good result soon. regards [EMAIL PROTECTED]
