Did it correctly recognize your video card or did you have to tell it
what it was?

Is that a pretty recent video card? (Sorry, I'm not much of a hardware
maven.)

Did it correctly recognize your monitor or did you have to tell it
what it was?

Actually RHEL 4.2 is a bit long in the tooth and may not adequately
support your card. And unless you purchase(d) support for it, you
won't be able to get updates, which are a must. I'd recommend you
download and install CentOS 5(.2),

http://www.centos.org/

which is a free repackaging of RHEL 5(.2), for which you can get free
updates and a number of extras.

My first installation of Red Hat was v4.2 (the old series that went
from 1 to 9, before Fedora), back when the whole thing was on one CD.
I had migrated from Slackware. I think I still have the box and CD.
Suppose that will be a collector's item someday? Before I die?
