Nope, no go. Got some interrupt 11 or something like that. No biggie now anyway, I downloaded XFree again and somewhere along the line the system locked solid, forced a reset, and that was all she wrote for the file system. When it rebooted it did a forced file system check I got seriously spammed in error messages. Considering other alternative distributions, just has to fit with in 500megs of drive space. Redhat is 900megs just for the packages, Slackware is 500megs of drive space just for the packages, which is why I went with Peanut, 100megs for the packages, decompressed to just over 233megs, left me with a bit over 50% free for additional packages. <hrms and thinks> The joys of sharing a 6 gig drive with Windows 98, most of the 5gig partition is Windows and it's programs, and 500megs for its swap file on a separate partition. Oh well, thank you again.
