Greetings,
Am trying to configure linux on a Dell Pentium box with a IDE CDROM
drive attached to the 2nd controller. Machine boots up fine from hard
drive which is /dev/hda1, but I can't seem to find the cdrom drive.
Any help would be much appreciated.

would like to change the default scrollbars
from the hatched display to a more solid
type. I've been through a lot of

Somewhere in this thread I saw that this might be possible on an
unpartitioned drive. Would it (dd) work on unpartitioned space on your
existing drive. I read "SOMEWHERE" about lossless partitioning.
