I am waiting for my Redhat and will also be trying to set this up on the
same machine.
I've never installed Linux before and wonder if I should first start on an
older computer vs. my new laptop just for practice.
I understand that other people have gotten it to work except they had to
purchase an X-server software from some other company.
Keep us posted as to your success,

Subject: Inspiron 7000
My Inspiron 7000 arrived yesterday. I was up late last night trying to get
Redhat Linux 5.1 to install.
I would go through fine; installing all the packages but keep freezing up in
the root password dialog. I think it has something to do with the standby
mode, but am not sure.
Has anyone been successful installing Redhat on a similar machine.
PII 300
128MB RAM
8GB disk
DVD
ATI Rage Pro 8MB
3COM 10/100 ethernet PCMCIA
thanks
bill pinto
p.s. thank god i bought Partition Magic 4.0. Dell created one 8GB fat32
partition. great product. even created the Linux partitions with it.
