gao, I built a new machine. 700e p3 512 meg and an epox mb with via chipset. board was 40, mem 50 and cpu 90. used a maxtor 5 and a ibm15 gig drive and a cirrca 96 cdrom/dvd. win 2k cd no good, win xp did not like it. failed install. win nt.4 installed. The install of my nine rev 4 card and sgi flat panel went smoothly. but I had to use linux box to get sevpack6 as netscape 2 that installs could not download from borgville. After sp6 I uped ie to 5. fixed plain passwords so I could samba with my unix boxes. nt works fine with the built in sound on the mother board. System works OK. nt 4.0 only handles small partitions of 2 gig or so. sucky, I did not remember. This is system (half) I also downloaded iso files for the two install cd's of redhat 7.2. I burn cd's on a win98 machine. but the iso's were on a mandrake 8.0 linux box(angle) with exported nfs files . The exported files from (angle) were mounted on another mandrake 7.1 linux box( square). The nfs mounts on (square) were samba shared. So on win98 box (right) using iso's from (square) that were nfs mounted from (angle) I burned the redhat cd's. Now (right) is on a thin wire at 10 mb/s thru to 10 base-t uplinked to a 100 base-t router that connects to both (square) and (angle). I was wondering about using a network link to burn a cd. It worked fine. The redhat install seemed to go ok. the boot loader was confusing, but I created a boot floppy and can boot betwix nt4 and linux. But redhat still has a problem with install where it is not obvious on how to stop the system from insisting on starting in a graphical mode. So after install I could boot normally to a login. So using the linux boot rescue I hand edited the /etc/inittab file and changed the default init level from 5 to 3 and now I could log in. I then installed my commercial xig X server that understands the SW 1600 and the X was up and running fine. The gnome window manager is not bad. The sound also works fine. Well now back to playing tom watson tosiwmee
