Did you have any other OS running before this? If you don't like Windoze 95(
I could understand this) at least you should have a copy for trouble
shooting. Windows 95 will detect any hardware conflicts and /or defective
hardware. This is what I use it for. On a new machine...install it and check
the device manager. If everything shows OK, Linux should install like a
dream----assuming you have supported hardware. I use the 1542 CF with a
Microp 1.75 GB drive and 2X Toshiba drive w/o any probs.
Good luck bro...
