Okay, heres my setup: ZEOS Pentium 90 w/ seagate 1 gig hard drive (Geometry = 2099 x 64 x 63). If I just let it try to install after my dos partition (which is 780 megs), it crashes. This used to happen in 1.1.5.1, but was able to get it to install by changing the geometry to 523 x 16 x 512. I tried this in version 2, but it says that it can't handle sectors over 255! Okay, after some fiddling around I find another combonation that works. However, now DOS won't boot. Its there, but the boot manager can't boot it. Its really beginning to bother me since 1.1.5.1 works. Also, XFree86 3.1 doesn't seem to work well with my setup. I have a Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM w/ 2 megs. Can you send me a working config file. Would I be doing myself harm if I just went back to the working version of 1.1.5.1? Is there that much difference? Thanx for your help.
