<snip> Sorry I don't have any technical help to offer you on this. But I would like to tell you this; The very first time I installed Linux, in '95, was on one of those machines your are using. I had such problems with the installation that I gave up and didn't install again until a few months later on a home-built machine where I had no problems. The shop where I worked, at the time, was using Z stations and inevitably replaced all of them with Gatway computers because these systems were so problematic just running Windows. What Fiat was to the automotive industry Zenith is to the computer industry. Hopefully, for the sake of consumers, they are not making computers anymore.
