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. Also I can't find a way to address my CD-ROM drive once I'm in Linux. What commands do I use? Just one other thing .. I wish IBM's AIX was this nice to work with. The history command with Linux is nice.
