One suggestion: get a KNOPPIX CD and install from that |

While you have several years of experience with linux, I had a few |
| 14 |
months with RH7.3, and only Apple (MacOS 8.6) before that. So, if I |

There was no genkernel then and no graphical installer. Didn't miss any. |

The major problem was to configure the kernel from scratch, but I |
| 18 |
managed it somehow. |
