RH 6.1 and 6.2 did not install on my cyrix 486 dx-4 box, with 24 megs and sis mobo. very similar to the original posters hardware. even the text install sucked. RH 6.0 worked though. stick with a really light weight window manager, lesstif, fvwm(2) worked quite well. mario -- "The software said 'runs on Win95 or better,' so I installed it on Linux" _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
