Well, I finally am up with Linux .. I put in a 2nd 4.3 gig IDE drive in my Pentium 100. SuSE found the CD-ROM and booted. Thanks for the advice.

Linux can't find my mouse .. a Logitech M-M35 .. this is a new type serial mouse .. a small OEM mouse. When I use YaST and goto Configure SFree86 the system stays on "applying ......." forever. Fortunately Linux uncleaned the drives after I "reset" my PC.

Does the mouse connect to one of the serial ports (COM1/2)? If so, have you tried building a new kernel with serial mouse support? [ OR is it possible that you have a USB mouse? I am not sure about USB support in Linux ]

Also I can't find a way to address my CD-ROM drive once I'm in Linux. What commands do I use?

SCSI cdrom devices are adressed as /dev/scd0, ATAPI/IDE cdroms e.g. master on 2nd IDE controller would be /dev/hdc. Proprietary drives have their own devices e.g. Mitsumi (non-atapi) /dev/mcd.

Just one other thing .. I wish IBM's AIX was this nice to work with. The history command with Linux is nice.

compile the source for bash or pdksh in AIX, you will then have command history capability in AIX as well. HTH Arun Khan -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
