I have a graphics card installed, works well.  From all I can figure, my disc 1
of 3 must have something wrong with it?!?  I can read its contents in my W2k
workstation drive with no problem.  I have NO clue how or where to begin making
my own bootable CD for this architecture if this one is bad.  We only have 1
burner here and it is external SCSI on a Win machine.  Here's what is on the
root of the CD:

/etc
/ppc
/RedHat
.disc1-ppc
autorun
COPYING
README
README.de
README.ja
RELEASE-NOTES
RELEASE-NOTES.de
RELEASE-NOTES.ja
RPM-GPG-KEY
TRANS.TBL

So from little bit I do know, that seems to have all it needs to be bootable. 
I re-tested the hardware again by using the SuSE installation I have, it still
boots from the CD no problem, so I don't suspect hardware is the issue at all.

Thanks,

BTW, Brent, you are at Red Hat correct? I believe you have ownership of a
bugzilla report I made last week about user password issues when creating with
the RH User Manager gui tool in RH 8.0 and have since delegated to a
programmer??  Small world eh?  :)
