Thanks, that helped a whole lot. I didn't realize how big 7.2 really was.
I got 80% of expert/workstation on about 2.4 gigs. That should be ok until
I finally delete windows off of the 10gig hd and go linux only. Thanks
again, Dennis M.

dennis, /usr needs to be quite big, try a 1gig /, a 2gig /usr and 1gig
/home,
have you set dns correctly for netscape to work, do this in
drakconfnetworking
maybe it was just a typo in your post but a modem would be on ttyS0 not
ttys0, ttyS0 is com1 in dos terms

I have found the gui for 7.2 but as stated before I have no icons and
several functions don't. Like Networking in DrakConf, and my modem
will dial in and connect to my ISP but netscape doesn't connect. On
the dual boot machine I have an external modem set on ttys0 and 7.2
can't find it. the dual boot box also has the same problems as above
as well as telling me that I have room for only 39% of the files I
chose to install. That was on a 4gig hd with 2 gig reserved for /home.
Should I have made /usr the larger partition? Lots of questions, I
know, but if anyone can help on one at a time or all I would
appreciate it. Just a note, I am using Netscape 6 for this e-mail and
it is definitly slower than 4.75, also I have had a look at
enlightenment and it is COOOL! TIA for any help out there,
