SIS730 = video card ?

you have to boot by a dos partition and using the autoboot.bat file on the
CD RH 7.3.
when you are on the dos partition :
autoboot
and that is ok !
ISO problems from the CD , confusion with an ISO of a DVD, it seems ..
-----
and after succeeding with the install of RH 7.3 :
printer's configuration for me, not solved !
the printer starts but prints hieroglyphes characters ...
and the paper goes out all the time ... fed up !
It could be a minsunderstanding on the lp port !
I saw "stderr" : standard output error ?
see you
