I've installed Linux on a Compaq 166 machine with no problems. I think I
know why you can't get into setup. Older Compaq machines kept a small
partition with the setup program on it. Either you deleted the partition
when you set up Linux, or else LILO ate your MBR setup that allowed you to
get in. Go to compaq's web site. You should be able to find a program to
create a boot disk that will run the CMOS setup program. I had to do the
same thing on mine.

Good luck,
Jason
