- I apologize for the extreme lack of intelligence that this post must
- demonstrate, but I have read the FAQ and have tried to keep up with this group
- but I have a few problems that I haven't been able to answer. I am currently
- using linux 0.98p1.
-
- 1) What is required in going to version 0.99 if I don't want to mess with
- the patches?
-
- 2) I haven't been able to get the directory/file permissions correct yet.
- What should they be? (i.e. could someone mail me a ls -lR output file?)
-
- 3) When I am running linux in a SVGA mode, and start Xwindows, once I exit,
- the refresh rate hasn't been returned to the correct rate, so all I see is
- wavy lines. Is there fix or do I just have to give up using the SVGA modes?
-
- I apologize if any of this is just blatantly obvious or stated in the FAQ and I
- missed it. I appreciate any constructive comments anyone has to make.
- Please reply via email as I will probably miss your post. Thank you.
