[techtalk] Re: Caldera Open Linux eDesktop 2.4 Installation

[wny-tc at juno.com]

Hello all, Keith here in the Depths of the Great Bergen Swamp

A bit more info on  my attempts to install my Caldera distro.  I am
trying to install it for dual-boot capabilities using the 'Quick Install'
feature. I have gone  through the section on 'Checking Resources' and
verifying the hardware (my Lucent WinModem may be a problem.  I'll deal
with that later...) and I get to the actual installation.  This is where
the process goes "Thud!"

I put the CD in for the binaries and installation.  It spins up, starts
winsetup.exe and I get Welcome screen, but not the exact screen that is
shown in the book.  When I click on the PowerQuest Utilities to install
PartitionMagic, I get an error message that tells me that I need the
'Registered' version to continue.  This causes  winsetup.exe to close and
I am back to the Win98 desktop.

I am running Win98 (First edition) on a 300 MHz AMD, 96 MB RAM and all
that...

I am open to suggestions, boy am I!
