Re:



Well for starters I never had any luck with Redhat.  It wouldn't see my
CD-ROM drive no matter which of the three I used.  If you are trying to
install Corel Linux the dual boot (on my machine) occurs when you start the
system in "Expert" mode.  If you just boot it up normally dual boot won't
occur, the splash screen won't go away.  And X-Windows won't load if you
have the wrong settings mainly for the video card, and only a handful are
supported, mostly cards with S3 video chips (i.e Diamond Stealth, etc)
