Makes me wonder about my troublesome box. I tried to install Sorceror and 
RedHat again to no avail. I've tried partioning schemes up the wazoo. Tried 
the mem=nopentium option but I probably did it wrong because that had no 
effect. Seems this problem is only on the T-Bird/Duron though because my XP 
runs fabulous.
