Good boy!
Didn't you notice that this is a Debian-User-List?
For questions to this distribution see on
http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/ (Support)
or on http://archive.rehat.com (Mail-Archive).
By the way, the X-configuration in RedHat is done over the pro gramm
"Xconfigurator".

one thing i would suggest in your case is that if you had a big enough
hard drive,you can allway copy the content of you CD to the hard disk (in
DOS) and start from that,i did it,but in my case,it was more in the
interest of speed rater than incompatibility,my HD is a 1.7 gig unit.
