After I installed from DOS partition, I have the following problems. 1. CDROM can not be configured. It is said ATAPI CDROM drive support is still alpha version for ver. 2.1.7. Are there still some ways to remedy. 2. I configured XF86Config, but the system can not find the commands like startx, xinit... etc. They are really in /usr/X11R6/bin. My keyboard is a Windows 95 keyboard. Is the keyboard an issue? 3. I can not extract the packages from the DOS partition. There is no catpages files on the CDROM. I downloaded them from the website, but it still does not work. With best reguard! sincerely yours Li-heng Lee
