[lug] Install Problems

[Harris, James]

True... what's odd is a setup problem that I had to bypass by using text
mode.  What was interesting was that it went fine and the system works
perfectly.  I think it was just the RH Gui installer slightly misdetecting
the video chipset or something. 

Anywho... my two cents.  You're absolutely right that working hardware is
good, but just because the GUI setup doesn't work may not be a direct
reflection of how the system will run once it's in place.

I must agree, but there really is no substitute for working hardware. :-)
