If you're not in Win95, turn that damn thing off! :-)
I know nothing about PCVT so we'll skip down...

Hold down Ctrl and Alt and press F1 - F4. Your virtual consoles are
still there; you have to hold Ctrl in X and not anywhere else.

I don't think you need to run sysinstall after the system is installed;

laying around on the floppy. Just mount it and read away. :) They are
also on the FTP site and possibly in /usr/share.
