Pippi,
You have gotten farther than I did! I bought Open Linux 2.3, but have
never been able to use it, because I can't get it to install on any of
my computers. It hangs while looking for a SCSI card/disk, it basically
tells me I have no place to install from. I have been able to install
SCO Openserver 5.05, However.
Is 2.5 out now?
Sorry I can't offer any help.
