Hmm...have you installed the X packages? Have you set up your X server via xf86config or XF86Setup?

This is probably the work of the linuxlogo package. :-) But the information it gets comes from the kernel. This information is: Kernel version: 2.0.34, which is correct. CPU type: "Pentium 75+ Processor", which is technically correct (your 133 MHz CPU is 75 MHz or faster). The kernel doesn't differentiate any more than that. Memory: "64M RAM", which is all the kernel sees by default. See /usr/doc/kernel-doc-2.0.34/Documentation/memory.txt.gz for details and some workarounds. (You may need to install the kernel-doc-2.0.34 package first.) Bill> All of the above should not be except the Linux version. How do Bill> I go about getting Linux to recognize the system correctly?

Well, not really: it sounds like you have some X problems, and X is notoriously hard to configure, and you need to do a bit of work to get from 64MB of RAM to 128MB. Besides that, your system is in pretty decent shape, it sounds like. -- _____________________________ / \ "Dad was reading a book called | David Maze | _Schroedinger's Kittens_.
