I feel your pain. I have had to do this myself. If you are using Book Mangler to manage the boot process, there should be no problems. If it starts in Win95 all the time, run fdisk and set the Boot Manager partition active. Zeke -Original Message- From: Jeff [SMTP:[EMAIL

CPU

Hi! Can somebody tell me which CPU should I choose. I thought on Intel P233MMX or PII 233. But I won't play games (i don't need much FPU) and I am not rich, so I thought maybe on Cyrix PR233. If somebody knows something more about that, please share it with me. Bye.

Any help would be appreciated, or perhaps someone could steer me to some documentation on this, assuming there's a solution. Bob Ross If I remember correctly, the XFree86 setup tends to put 8-bit color startup before 24-bit color startup. You need to make sure that you card will do

Why don't you take a look at the AMD K6 CPUs. I have been thinking of getting one of these when I upgrade my older 120Mhz Pentium. The price is good and I've heard of many success stories with Linux on this list from people that already use them. Also my AOpen motherboard has a jumper setting

Error using man

When I installed RH5 the first time, man worked correctly. But now there's no possibility to get the wanted information. And I don't know, what I could have changed. For example I type "man ls". Then there's only the string "(END)" in the left corner of the screen. And nothing else has changed.
