PPP and mouse
Hi...
Yesterday, I downloeaded the Debian Linux installation kit on floppies
and installed it on my 486 at home. It was a breeze. However, there was
one problem. At the time of installation, I hadn't plugged in the mouse
(a Microsoft PS/2 serial mouse). I'm wondering if the plugging in of the
mouse was crucial to the stage "Configure device drivers". Will I have
problems while installing XFree86????
All I wish to use this PC for is dialling up to my university and
working remotely. I have not purchased a modem yet. Could someone please
tell me
a)what kind of modem I should buy
b)how to configure it *I do not have a DOS partition on my hard disk. I
only have a Linux native and a Linux Swap partition*
c)how to configure PPP support.
All I have installed right now is just the base system. I have just
116Mb on my hard disk and 16Mb of RAM. So I set aside 100MB for the
Primary Linux Partition and 16Mb for the swap. I'm wondering if I'll
have enough memory to install the bare XWindows system.
