David: I also tried the append="mem=192M" in lilo.conf and then lilo at the prompt, didn't work. I also tried lilo -v (which was reported to work) but no such luck. On the other hand Mandrake 7.0 recognizes a video card that Windows 98 refuses to recognize so I guess the extra line at log in

I use Linux with a cable modem on RoadRunner, and it works great. Why don't you try this: Run LinuxConf. Go to Networking, then to basic host info. Then select the tab for your network card (eth0). Click on the optin for DHCP. Back out of LinuxConf, activating your changes. You may have to

Absolutely. StarOffice works pretty good (I use it myself). But since no one else had mentioned it in the thread I thought I'd throw it in (to show how wonderful Linux is...blah blah blah). For a lot of my professional documents, though, I stick with Word 97 under WINE. That way I know for sure

This is very easy to fix: 1) Login as root (or su at a command prompt) 2) Edit the file /etc/lilo.conf 3) Under the "label = linux" line add the line: append = "mem=xxxMB" 4) Save the changes 5) run "lilo" (without the quotes) at the prompt. Just adding the append statement to lilo.conf isn't

Just some additional comments, mostly on perl. Perl is good, because it can be better than bash for some systems administration tasks. Plus, Perl has much functionality; it's definitely at least considerably powerful, and being a scripting language, you don't need to deal with compiling,

I checked that in video card documentation Diamond Stealth III S-540 uses only its onboard 16megs of memory. Anyway, Linux accepts the 192 megs when I log in at lilo with "linuxmem =192M" Plus, the lilo.conf file has the append mem=192M all to no avail. Thanks for the suggestion

Abiword does a good job of importing MS word, but it's still in it's infancy. I've just bought Corel Office 2000 deluxe, and I'm very pleased with it; it imports and exports MS 97 / 2000 files as well as most other popular formats. Mike Emanuele La Rosa wrote: Maybe you are right but it
