I am trying to take on old Pentium 100 (NEC) running Win 95a and put Red Hat
7.1 on it in a dual boot configuration. The CD ROM isn't bootable, so I'm using
a "disk driver" to get the ball rolling.

The CD start whirring and the intstalll appears to be going down, but after
a couple of minutes I get the following:

"...waiting for X servre....

Gdk - error ** Fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X servre :1


install exited abnormally

sending termination signals

sending kill signals

disabling swap

unmounting filesystems
  /mnt runtime

..."


Any ideas what might be happening?

Thanks again in advance Linux community.....
