X Server won't start and I think it's something to do with the video drivers. I have win xp on a Pentium 3, Using an ATI All In Wonder board and a NEC MultiSync LCD 1850E monitor.
I've been installing all my Linux test distros in VMWare 3.2.
Mandrake 8.0 installed slick as a whistle first time. No difficulties and it runs great.
SuSE 8 same slick installation. In addition SuSE automatically mounts all the fat partitions on my boot drive and on my second hd. Mandrake doesn't do that.
Tried to install RedHat 8.0 3 times using different configurations. Same result. Maybe I'll chance an install on the hd. Always hate to do that because of the entry in the MBR for the boot menu.
The installation only needed CD-1 and 2. I had trouble with RedHat 7.3 on this machine and am disappointed version 8.0 seems not to have a full compliment of drivers.
This is just a preview report. Gonna try some other approaches soon.
