Questions on GRUB and RH7.2

Can any kind person give some info on the following: I don't seem to have a 'initrd' file - does it matter? Should I use the 'syslinux.cfg' off the backup boot floppy instead? How do I boot DOS usind GRUB? Background is: When I installed Red Hat 7.2, it wouldn't boot off the hard drive - it

scrambled screen

Over the years, I have used Linux on a dozen different computers and have never run into this problem before. I've just installed Slackware 7.1 on a Compaq 400 (MMX) with S3 Virge video card. Everything is working OK (including the XFree 3.3.6 S3V server) except that when, I exit X and return

Mandrake 9.1 internet connection

I have managed to get linux 9.1 running on my Compaq 4000 (Pentium MMX) machine. After a bit of a struggle I got it to recognize the linux-compatible U.S. Robotics modem and assign it to ttyS4. Through the Mandrake Control Center (MDC) I used DrakConnect to set up the internet connection thro
