Hello, I am planning on installing Caldera 2.2 on a puter with the above
mentioned video card. What I want to know is, how does the Lizard
installation react to the card during video probing? Is it possible for me
to continue the installation even though the installation won't recognize
the  card at all? I am hoping to get to the command prompt after system
installation so that I can install all the RPM packages for the 3dfx voodoo3
X server

The install will be fine. When the X server
starts you'll just get a giant 320x200 display
which you can switch away from to install the
right drivers. BTW, Xfree86 (3.3.4) now supports
the Voodoo3.

It should be ok.  However, the font will be so big you cannot do anything
without the package.
