All this talk about setting up the X server got me wondering. So, I
checked it out, and it seems that there's some kind of inconsistency
on my machine:
:>11:31 [1] alsu (alsu):/home/alsu -> ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/X
:>lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Nov 11 23:31 /usr/X11R6/bin/X ->
/usr/X
I'd like to install from floppies, but some of the disk images are larger than
1.44 mb. Resc1440.bin and drv1440.bin both copy to my hd at 1,474,560 bytes.
Formatting a HD floppy give me 1,457,663 bytes available.
Any help?
Thanks

I normally leave my computer on all the time. Just the other day I
rebooted and LILO would not work. It prints LI on the screen and then
freezes. I have not rebooted my computer in a few weeks and much has
changed. I am running 2.0.33 with LILO 20-0.1. I have tried running
LILO off of a floppy
Yes, this is because these are disk "images", not files to be written to an
already formatted
disk. The formatting itself consumes disk space. You can't "copy" these files
to the disk.
You must use rawwrite (or some equivalent program). 1,474,560 is indeed the raw
capacity of a 1.44mb floppy.

Hi,
I am looking for some good books, that introduce linux and provide a good
reference for the begginer, but will still be a usefull reference later on.
I am unsure about the 'xxx for dummies' books, as i have recently found at
my cost, they assume you really are dumb and the first half focuses

boot winders. But I do not understand how to set v20 up. Thanks for
the help.

Hi,
I have Debian Linux 1.3.1 that cam,e from the Boot disc. I have
recently got
a Micron Xku PII-266. I have looked over the LINUX compatibility site and was
wondering when & if there may be support for:
Yamaha OPL3-SAx Sound card. It is on the mother board
Hi,
I've got a IBM PS/2 and tere were some problems with the harddik. I got
round this by creating the partions by hand. But I've got a problem: If

parameters. (I'm a very unexperienced user)
Thanks,
