Aaron,
Did you purchase VPC Linux as a package or install it? I own VPC
with Win 98 and can't get Red Hat to install. I've tried creating
dynamic and fixed drives, installing in a "Linux" hard drive and
installing over Win 98 hard drive. It either crashes during install
or installs then gives me a "no valid OS" on re-booting.
