First of all thank you Harry for giving advice. It didn't work out, so is
there someone who can help me out ? I'm willing to post my initial message
again if necessary.
As you may have figured I'm not into the US slang so much, just moved here
half a year ago from germany. Maybe I still need your dunce cap because I
installed RH 7.0, hehe. It's free, but it's not working properly, so I
cannot complain. But that sort of makes ppl use "safe" systems as windows
which runs on almost any box. I really like Linux, but why is it always
such a PITA to install it ?
Greez,
