Hi all,
I had exactly the same "feature set" as Bob.
RH7.0 install on a Thinkpad T20
XFree86 4.0.3(?) RPM's from the RH7.1 CD (to get the Savage/IX drivers)
Upgraded OE & IE to 5.5, busted-ass fonts.
That's pretty much all I did with the system. So, I'd be staggered if
it wasn't _very_ reproduceable.
Cheers,
-- jon
PS: Can't check anymore. Laptop gone back to IT dept. Managed to snag
it for a weekend to play. As Win4Lin didn't appear to support Outlook,
it's no use to me at the moment.
