Martin:
alien -i oracle.rpm
(or whatever the filename turns out to be)
that sounds like the best ~/.plan to me.

yes, I had a coprocessor.

Ray, Thanks for the input. Some things are making a lot more sense
here. I'll make comments below.

i had a lot of trouble with mine at first also... so i ran the

In a pinch, here's a few rescue commands:
if you're remote, to kill the X server without rebooting:
killall -9 startx
If you're at the console:
ctrl+alt+backspace
To put your console's virtual terminals back into a sane state:
stty sane < /dev/tty1
(etc.)
Sometimes, I have b
X on a 386? *laff* Don't bother. I've been there, done that, as the

the most generic settings: SVGA driver at 640x480 resoltion. Make
sure you look at the README file for your video card.. Start your

Greetings. I saw that a few people have already answered your
question, but I thought I would give you a little more to go on to
help you get started. I've compiled a list of linux sites and
organized them in a way that hopefully caters more to the beginners.

Greetings folx. I have an old HP ScanJet Plus connected to my
parallel port that I cannot seem to get working with Debian 2.0 no
matter what I try.
The parallel port has Base I/O address 0x378. I believe that this
is /dev/lp0. Someone please confirm / correct this for me.
Secondly, I'm runnin
yes, i've seen it:

Just something to add to this (although Randy is correct):
Let's say you have a 1.2GB /dev/hda. Make the partitions something
like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 621 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes
Device Boot BeginStart End
If you can boot to your hard drive from floppy, then do so, log in as
root, then try this:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV console
then try rebooting from the hard drive. For some strange reason,
/dev/console is easily corrupted and then causes a LOT of weird
problems like this.

I often have to manually set my terminal type to 'vt100' every time I
log into my linux box from the windoze machine in my office.
export TERM=vt100
then all works fine. You might also want to look into using the stty
command to rebind certain keys to match what your terminal emulator

I've had a similar hardware configuration running linux before, but
that was Slackware 3.0 (when *it* was considered NEW). I've not tried
Debian with only 4M of RAM (and hercules card), but I can tell you
that Debian 2.0 liked my 386 with 8M RAM.
