| I have discovered that the version of PM I've got won't see drives bigger
| than 8 GIG and I believe that I've got a drive that's 8.1 GIG. There is an
| upgrade version that will deal with larger drives. Is it worth getting that
| or just taking my HD into my hands and using fdisk.
Well, that depends on whether you want to pay for it. You seem willing
to go the backup-and-reformat route, but that will probably take longer.
How much space do you intend to use for Windows?
| Caldera does use Xfree86, but there is no info as to which version. I still
| have this minimum install of Linux on the machine but it still "doesn't seem
| to work" and there is no prompt from me to work from so I'm not sure how I
| can get to the Linux directories.
At the LILO prompt, try typing "linux 1". That should boot to
single-user mode. Then use "rpm -q -a | grep ^X" to determine the
version of X installed.
