Hi,
Running the same mobo and RHL versions - its possible. But to save you a lot
of pain better to install in TEXT mode - then immediately get hold of
PCQ latest issue which has a kernel update (Shanu has an article in it on how
to do an upgrade) which easily configures i810 mobo for video. install the
kernel update and then run Xconfigurator to configure video.
If you want to go without the kernel update on a KObian mobo - better be
prepared for a big battle with Linux. But it can be done, the wiser and
easier way to do it would be to get hold of the 2.2.16 kernel.
Good luck,
Ashwin
