- I'm just learning Unix. I installed the minimal SLS 0.98 on my system a
- few days ago. I have a couple of questions and would like everyone who
- could to answer.
-
- 1. How do I install LILO to enable me to boot Linux without the floppy?
- 2. Is it possible for me to dial into my local BBS using Linux? If it
- is how do I go about it.
- 3. How do I get my mouse to work (or be recognized by Linux)?
-
- Like I mentioned earlier, I'm just learning Linux. I know that the FAQ
- could help a lot but I can't seem to get it going. I only installed the
- "A" series of the disks.
- You DON'T have to answer all 3 questions. Just answer the portion you
- can.
-
- My system is:
- =============
- IBM clone = i386sx 16mhz (very, very slooooow - I know)
- 2mb Ram = (with 6.5mb Linux swap on /dev/hda3)
- 14mb = Linux partition on /dev/hda2
- 20mb = MS-DOS partition
- 2400bd fax/modem on Comm 2
- PS/2 style mouse
