HD's and CD-ROM's are all treated basically the same. hda=primary
master, hdb=primary slave, hdc=secondary master, and hdd=secondary
slave. /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd and such are just symlinks to the
respective devices.
ok- got it, thanks
So should I take this boot problem to the "live cd" mail list?
or forget it and just move on into the book.
If your host (RH9) is sufficient for building LFS, then you could just
do it from there. Check the requirements in the book. If it's good
enough, then you already got the needed packages on the cd :)
I'll have to read up. I have a lot of tools installed, but version? I
might be better off just using the RH9 for an os instead of the live cd,
and building from the live cd sources. Then I would be closer to the
same page as you all. Of course I could also either wait for
lfslivecd-x86-6.1.1.3 is repaired or go get one of the other iso's
suggested by Justin earlier. I don't know yet. Then I Would be on the
same page:) But I still have a lot of reading to do first.
I'm going to have to do some clearing! Goodbye gnome......(use
fluxbox anyhow)
After I set up 1GB swap, everything went smooth (and slow..) I went
for the overkill since it takes several hours to compile on that
machine, so less would probably also do it..
And if you haven't already tried it, I would recommend giving XFce a
shot. It's lightweight and fast.
Not to be rude, but do you really need w98? I'm proud to say there's
not a machine running anything from M$ in my house anymore :)

No rudeness detected!:)
I'll have to work on that swap space then! XFce? I don't think I've
even heard of it. Interesting. So much to do.
I hope for the day of saying a permanent "Goodbye, it's NOT been fun" to
Bill but unfortunately I need '98 to do work on. Gnumeric and Gnucash
are nowhere a near excel and quicken which I have to use a lot. With
Confidence! (April 15th is comming.....boo) Gnucash was especially
slow and even hung up a couple of times, I think for lack of machine.
All the Gnome based stuff is slow for me. I'm hoping a k6 build will
help with that.
-Thanks, Howard
