Great. I'm thinking of giving it a whirl. Been trying with Mandrake 8.2,
and not having much luck.

It seems the LILO it wants to install doesn't like my 100GB drive. So I
tried GRUB. That seemed to install ok.

I get a GRUB "stage 2" failure and it dies there. Oh well.

And to make matters worse, my BIOS won't recognize the 100GB drive.
It only goes up to 65,535MB. But the install CD ignored that and let
me carve up the 95GB of usable space. 100GB ~= 95GB, since drive mfrs have
long since inflated 1GB to mean 1,000,000 bytes and not 10^20 (=1048576).

So, RH7.3 here I come. SuSE 8.0 will be next if that doesn't work.
