Well, as usual, I've got problems. Machine B (the no modem, not working ethernet, Mandrake 6.1 running, S3 ViRGE and Cyrix based system) is pulling more stupid X tricks. Remember how it stopped letting my personal account access the CDROM drive? Well, it also gradually cut off my access to WindowM

Remember my machine A and machine B problems of a couple weeks ago? I've got more *g*. Lots more. I'm sleepy, and there are a lot of problems so if something seems confused, ask. If nothing else, looking at the problems again with an eye to providing useful details would help me learn what to look

Ok, this is a case of "I know what I want to do, so what is the best way to do it?". I'm up to two machines that run linux at least some of the time. Neither can do 'net access under Linux at the moment, but one can do it under Win95. I have a nice long list of things that need to be updated, and
