*It's probably OK. Send me the contents of /proc/cpuinfo. Is your chip from
*Intel?
processor : 0
cpu : 386
model : unknown
vendor_id : unknown
stepping : unknown
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
fpu : no
fpu_exception : no
cpuid : no
wp : no
flags :
bogomips : 7.96
That's interesting, my environment has "HOSTTYPE=i586". It's an AMD chip.

I didn't make myself clear, for example: in ms-dos I used "debug" to put
together the utility needed to turn my cursor back on. It's that type of
knowledge I want to bridge over. I'm looking for a Debian programming
package that's both compact in size and has good basic doc's to groove me
in to doing things in Linux/Unix.

I think you guys are doing a great job! It's incredible being able to dl
Debian and get it running so easily.
Thanks for your help in getting through the initial confusion.
