Corel Linux is not real Linux, I suggest that you try Mandrake. it is much more mature and easier to install, another one that is even higher quality than mandrake would be Suse linux. corel is out of the linux biz now since MS paid them off. one other thing about mandrake, it will allow you to partition your harddrive for multiboot without partition magic. Jeremy. PS, for real help in linux, go to alt.os.linux that NG is considered the linux newsgroup.
