haha You probably should ask! Actually, I was originally going 
install FreeBSD on it via FTP, and I couldn't get it on the 'net to do 
the install. So, I had a couple RH 4.0 disks kicking around, so I 
thought I would attempt an install - primarily to see if the nic card in 
the ancient box I'm installing it on is functional. 

Thanks for the info. I'll probably just try an RH 5.1 install. :-)
