Thanks for all the suggestions re my installation woes. It turned out that I had an interrupted installation with all the attending challenges and by coincidence, a dead floppy drive. Now X configurator wants the refresh rate and sync rate on my TDK monitor. TDK seems not to support this relic. Is there a source for that data? Also, thanks for the suggestion to try Mandrake or a newer version of Red Hat. I was under the impression that since LINUX is open source, once one has obtained it, one may always add upgrades via multiple sources. Is this not so? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://shadowknight.real-time.com/pipermail/tclug-list/attachments/20030325/75923c1f/attachment.htm
