It's the first time I'm trying to install Linux and I'm in need of some help
:). I have a PENTIUM II 300 Mhz whit a AGP video card (Appolo 65, uses the
Cirrus Logic 5465 chip), a USR Spotster 56 K Voice Faxmodem and a PCI NE2000
clone network card. I have another computer in my house, a P100 whit the FPU
and whit the microsoft (WIN 9x) bugs :).
I can't configure the X-windows to understand high resolution modes (+ than
800x600) whit my card.
My network consist of the PII and the P100. I'd like to use the IPX protocol
and access whit the PII a CDROM drive on the P100 and a printer (HP DESKJET
820 Cxi - not Linux compatible). The problem is that I'd like to use the PII to
access the internet via an ISP (I didn't configure it yet).
The modem is refusing to work (it's PNP) and when I tried to use the BIOS to
config it, it changed my mouse configuration and I can't find the file that
contains the mouse configuration in linux to change it.
Next I'd like to mount a FAT32 drive and choose to boot from the linux or the
win95. (I have a 800Mb partition on my HD unformated just waiting to have my
old win95 installed, which I ziped and copied to another drive).
Thanks for helping a new user,
Gustavo Ribeiro Alves
