    Tried all of the suggestions, the thing isn't interested in booting via
    rescue disks (linux SuSE9, RH9, KRUD, or Win98), nor does it want to
    allow me to do a new SuSE 9 Pro install ... to that request I get a
    bright red box: "An error occurred during installation".

    Guess I will boot with the Win98 disk and do a "format/s c:" and then
    run a fresh install of SuSE 9 Pro.

    This is my morning project ... unless someone has a better suggestion.

    Thanks! dmc
