I have installed Red Hat 6.0 on my Dell laptop with dual boot. Other
side is Win 98. I have done installation atleast 4 times till I got
it right. I selected generic LCD driver for my Dell laptop and it
worked well. My Laptop configuration is 300Mh Pentium II, 4.8 gig HD
and 64 meg memory.

Good Luck!
