X is a real memory hog... Even on 32 Megs it seems to crawl. So, the only
solution is "Get more megs", and pretty soon at that. X can really put you
HDD thru very nasty runs if you have that much memory..

Hard Luck... No support for Internal modems under Linux. Having said that,
do check out www.linmodems.org You may have your modem listed there

I think there is (RH-GSG or RH-Install Guide).
Otherwise, proceed as follows: (use at ur *OWN RISK*)
Boot off the RHL CD. When the things come to the partitioning stage, simply
delete the Linux partitions.
OR better still, use partitioning software e.g. Partition Magic to remove
the partitions, and create new Win9x partitions in there place or extend
the existing ones.
Then from Win9x boot floppy, do FDISK /MBR
(This is how I do the things, other's plz correct me, if I'm wrong)
