What does it say when you try to run X as a user?

Jeremy,
I have the exact same card, and can say that it performs beautifully
under linux. As someone else has already stated, the default XF86_SVGA

3.3.2.

I believe, (its been a while since I installed Slackware) you just need to dd
the boot disk. I don't think you even have to mount it (I could be wrong). For
the color.gz "root" disk I think you have to start with a clean dos-formated
disk and simply;
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
cp /mnt/cdrom/color.

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /cdrom
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy
dd if =/dev/hdb/bare.i of=/dev/fd0
dd if=

I hope no one gets angry at me for reviving this thread, but I'm just now
reading it and I think this could be an important issue.

Hi,
I was almost up to date with slink, then, after two weeks, I tryed
an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade
Now the PCMCIA ethernet doesn't work, this is the error I get:
hsogso:~# ping idefix
PING idefix (10.1.1.10): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
ping: wrote idefix 64 char
Try "linux /dev/hdb = cdrom" at the lilo prompt.

I am trying to install debian on a 386 with 8 meg of ram with floppies. I am
getting the following messages before the machine hangs: -
boot:
loading root.bin...
parity check1
Assumung it was a memory problem I removed 4 meg at a time and tried a lowmem
installation with the same result.
