Hi ! I've got 3 questions: 1) I've worked with vi fine, until I installed elvis too. ( I'm only assuming this has to do with installing elvis ... ) But now, vi doesn't show the text of the file in an xterm, only on a console. After exiting from vi (in an xterm), I have to type "reset" to see any

Hi ! I've installed StarOffice 4.0 (German version) and both the installation process and the program itself are EXTREMELY slow. I don't have a clue why. "top" shows that soffice (the program name) gets only about 1%-3% of CPU. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks, please reply personall

Hi everyone ! Just checking by to give you a POSITIVE update on my "fdisk-partitioning-Win95-DOS-BIOS" problem and to let others know the solution if you have the same kind of problem. The problem was with my hard drive (Quantum, 4.3 GB, CHS 14848-9-63). I needed less than 1024 cylinders for DOS,

Hi ! I've still not solved the partition problem. :-( I've set CHS in the BIOS to 14848 - 9 - 63. But this is "NORMAL" and therefore DOS is in trouble. If I set it to "LBA" and 524 - 255 - 63 I'm having trouble with the MBR because lilo rewrote it (the Win95 version of the MBR) and I don't have

Hi ! Just wanted to let you know that I can finally run both Win95 and Linux on different partitions. The key to this was to put the DOS partitions FIRST. The only thing still to solve right now is this: DOS fdisk gives: 1 PRI DOS YESHUA 1000 FAT16 100% 2 EXT DOS1000 100% 3 Non-DOS

Hi ! I have two harddisks: /dev/hda is for Win95. /dev/hdc (4.3 GB) is partitioned: 1) swap for linux (64K) 2) linux (1GB) 3) primary DOS (2GB) 4) another DOS (4-part, 250 MB each) Linux works fine, but Win95 (which boots from the first drive /dev/hda) doesn't recognize the partitions of /dev/hdc
