- Well, I thought I would "expand my horizons" and learn unix.
- I am a Amiga and Dos wiz and would like to learn more about
- Unix (well Linux in this case)
- I got the FAQ's the install docs and the .98 boot and root.
- and it almost works 8`( on my Zenith 386-20.
-
- When the Boot disk loads up it gives me the EGAc in the corner
- and lists various screen modes but the text goes off the bottom
- of the screen (at least 5 lines I would guess) I can't seem to
- change the screen to be fewer rows. hitting any key just loads
- the root image and it works fine too, just runs off the bottom of
- the screen is all. Is there a way to change the number of rows
- that linux displays? (I haven't installed it yet, just booting
- off the floppies)
- Also where is .99? I ftped .98 from Wuarchive (mirror site)
-
- Thanks, from a would be linux-er
