I am completely new to Linux, and thoroughly confused, so please forgive my
naivete.
My system:
Video: ATI Rage/RageII PCI (ati_m64)
Sound: VIA PCI Audio Controller (Onboard)
Modem: 5634BTS 56K Video Ready Modem (Hardware) Manuf: Texas Inst.
LAN: Linksys LNEPCI II PCI Ethernet Adapter
MB: VIA EPox EP-7KXA
PRO: AMD Athlon Slot-A 650 MHz
RAM: 128 PC-100 SDRAM
HD1: 20GB Maxtor
HD2: 15GB WD
First Question:
I recently tried to install Linux-Mandrake 6.5 or 6.2 (Whichever the case
may be, the cover says both) I already have Win 98, Win 2K, and Win NT on
this computer, so I bought another hard drive for Linux. I used Partition
commander to create a Linux partition on the second hard drive (Both a
regular linux partition, and a swap partition). I installed it according to
the rules, but LILO won't install. I can boot it from the boot disk that I
created, but I can't boot it otherwise. I tried to read up on it in the
manual, but that's in a different language.
Second question:
I booted Linux with the boot disk, and the GUI takes up more than my screen.
I can go to the right, left, up, or down with the mouse and it will follow
it, but it really seems strange. Is this normal?
