RE: up and running
Does your colour problem "going magenta" mean the screen just turns purple,
or is there sort of a purple wash which still shows the other things on the
screen?
If it is the latter, it might simply mean that your green colour gun for the
monitor is not firing, which could range from a loose connection in the
cable (easy to fix) to a bad gun (a little dicier). You could try the
venerable troubleshooting technique of "jiggling the cable" to see if your
colour comes back.
The above worked for me when I had a monitor that was "going cyan".
Take care,

soon to have mathematica installed.
X good.
emacs good.
no real work other than the kernal recompile for SMP.
do not have ppp or mail up. I may need some help with this but well see.
I want a complet installl of all the programing tools no matter how off
the beaten track however I am not interested in backward compatability.
It may be a bit premature to question yall on this but I noticed as I
installed perl and python that Lib5 was coming up and conflicting.
I chose to avoid Lib5 unless it did not interfier but would like some
clarification as to wether or not my thinking is corect ie lib5 is only
needed for backward compatibility AND should be avoided to enable the new
stuff...though now I cant remember what the conflict was.maby TK ver 6

any way hope this is helpful to some one I even wrote down the make config
params
I forgot the X stuf but i think some one out there knows how to help me
