from Thomas/"tomstfor": > Recently, although I installed a new hard drive and the modem is working fine, I was going to install Windows 3.10 and the Compaq floppy drive failed. Do you know if LS-120 could be supported on a Compaq Sx-25 with two parallel ports? I am currently using port 2 for my printer, so maybe I could set it up for lpt1. Otherwise, I may have to get an way to put it outside the "box" or find a replacement Citizen/Compaq 1.4 meg floppy drive. Any suggestions on this difficulty would be appreciated. Thanks.
Is it an old computer? BIOS would then probably not recognize LS-120 but might be able to boot 1.44 MB floppies. You might do better to buy a regular floppy drive, they're cheap these days. I don't think you can even buy LS-120 retail any more. My computer is not Compaq, old computer is CX486DX-2S at 66 MHz. On BasicLinux and pppsetup, I never downloaded it, and I never used pppsetup but suppose I will use some PPP setup program for NetBSD and Linux. Debian 2.2.3 installation on new computer seemed to hit a few bugs, and I have the impression that the packages are rather helter-skelter. Hopefully Slackware 8.0 will be more orderly. On the issue of multiple Arachne directories, I've had that before, installer didn't seem to complain, though now I have only 1.70 rel 3.
