- Just got the MCC distribution of Linux 0.97pl2 up and running on my home
- system (386sx w/ Chips & Technolgies MB, 4 Meg RAM, ST-02 SCSI host adapter,
- Realtek VGA card). Real simple installation, I'm impressed, it looks like I
- might have finally found the cheap home Unix I've always been seeking.
-
- Just two quick questions:
-
- 1) I uploaded the taylor UUCP binaries from tsx-11.mit.ed but all it does is
- dump core. I guess it was compiled for a previous (incompatible)
- version. Is there a later revision of the binaries? (I've got the
- source from prep and the extra stuff from the tsx-11 packages area, I
- might have it compiled before I get an answer. Might.)
-
- 2) Does the X that is currently in beta have a driver for a "standard" VGA
- display device? Failing that, is there anyone out there who knows how to
- get in touch with Realtek to get info on their board? I'm sure my system
- is a little underpowered for X but there are times when I'd like to use
- some of the X applications anyway.
-
- Thanks in advance!
