If you have to change your boot order in your bios settings, do it. You can change it back later. I don't know how true this is but someone told me that there is a version of the install program on the RH CD that will run under Windows or DOS. Lastly, try this website: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ There is an index of people who have set up webpages describing their experiences with installing Linux on many types of laptops. _______________________________________________ Plug maillist - Plug@lists.nothinbut.net http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug
