argh!  lotsa information, more then i thought i'd get back!

I'm going to work on this this weekend, and a friend is bringing his laptop
so i can use the network option if the cd drivers are part of the problem!

''The Red Hat 6.1 installer is a bug-ridden mess.''

why didn't someone tell me this BEFORE i began?????

one other weird thing -- i made a 6.1 bootdisk using the rawwrite.exe
function off of the cd , while on a win 98 machine.... someone told me this
was a BAD thing?  the bootdisk worked on my 98 machine at work, but would
not work at all at home.  It failed to even load the linux installer....
Luckily I had an old bootdisk that got me as far as the cdrom/hdd choice.

thanks for all the feedback!  I will now put my 12 gauge away until
sunday.... 

:-)
