Thank you everyone for your kind advice.  I got both my X windows and my HP
Deskjet 520 printer working!

First, I booted from my Red Hat 6.1 CD, and chose the "upgrade" option to go
back to the Xfree86 3.3.2-6 that I started with.  Then I selected "Unlisted
Video Card" and "VGA16" base support.  This was enough to bring up a really ugly
screen, but was able to configure my HP Deskjet printer, and it works with both
ASCII and PostScript.

The only problem was that the "upgrade" path clobbered my lilo.conf file.  I had
set up Lilo.conf to have dual-boot with Windows 98, and it over-wrote with a
plain verions of Lilo.conf that booted Linux only.  I was able to use "vi" to
get it back to the way I wanted, but does this sound like a bug?

Is there a simpler way to upgrade from a CD-rom other than booting directly from
it and using Red Hat's "Upgrade" panels, so that I avoid clobbering my lilo.conf
in the future?
