A friend of mine wants to try Linux on his old (about 1995) Compaq computer.
However, when we tried to install RedHat 6.2 it couldn't load the GUI-type
installer, because (I think) there was a built in video card on the computer
and not a separate one. We probably could have installed it via text mode, but
Don (my friend) didn't want just a command prompt interface, which is what I
thought we'd end up with if we installed.Is there any way to hack the GUI's
into working with his computer?
			Thanks.
