  Hallo! 
   
  I'm a new Linux user, so I've got some unsolved 
  Problems. 
   
  1. First, the Linux Loader LILO doesn't work correctly. 
     Win95 and Debian 1.3 run on my box, so if Win95 runs  
     as default, Linux won't boot, if Linux runs as default, 
     I'm unable to boot Win95. Here are some system  
     informations: 
   
  Harddisk: Quantum Fireball 2.10 GB 
  --------- 
   
  No ramdisk support 
   
  LILO 	configuration file: 
  --------------------------- 
   
  # LILO configuration file 
  # 
  # Start LILO global section 
  lock 
  boot = /dev/hda 
  compact		# faster, but won't work on all systems. 
  delay = 10      # 10 Sek. Reaktionszeit 
  vga = 1		# force sane state 
  ramdisk = 0	# paranoia setting 
   
  install = /boot/boot.b 
  map = /boot/map 
   
  # End LILO global section 
   
  # DOS bootable partition config begins 
  other = /dev/hda1 
    label = m 
    table = /dev/hda 
  # DOS bootable partition config ends 
   
  # Linux bootable partition config begins 
  image = /vmlinuz 
    root = /dev/hda5 
    label = l 
    read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking 
  # Linux bootable partition config ends 
   
  # Alternative: alten Kernel booten 
  image = /vmlinuz.bak 
    root = /dev/hda5 
    label = lb 
    read-only

  The partitions /dev/hda8 to /dev/hda11 are not in use
  
  
  2. I've installed XEmacs. The keys "Backspace" and "Delete" work both as "Backspace".
     I'd like it, that "Delete" works as "Control-D" (^D).
     I've tried this in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, but it doesn't help:
  
     xmodmap -e "keycode 22=Backspace"
  
  3. I don't like it to shutdown the computer. So if I don't work, I shutdown to the
     xdm-login and switch off the monitor. But if I want to login after some time, the 
     xdm-login is shifted up and after login the screen presents a much wider display,
     so I have to adjust the monitor again.
    
     My monitor is a new Yakumo Modell.
     Default resolution is "1158x864".
  
     Maybe it helps to print some parts of the /etc/X11/XF86Config file:
  
  Section "Monitor"
     Identifier      "Primary Monitor"
     VendorName      "Unknown"

  Section "Device"

     Ramdac          "ti3026"
     Chipset         "mga1064sg"
     ClockChip       "ti3026"
  
  
  EndSection
  
  4. And at last, my cdrom drive (ATAPI-typ) will umount itself after some 
     seconds I've mounted it. 
  
     Very strange: dselect reads and installs from the cdrom drive correctly.
  
     I compiled ATAPI-support, but not "other ide chipset support", because
     I Don't know if I need it.
     
  
  Hope anybody can help me, bye
  
  Sven
