SORRY, SORRY , a big Sorry for net mentioning the version. I am using RHL6.1
but it does conflicts with the onboard Mach64 server which is have disabled
for Win95, but not for RHL. I have no idea as to how to disable it. and it
awas suggested that that xs\is.rpm might be able to help out in configuring
XWindows.
I have described my problem in my previous mail. to this forum. Please read
it. I ahve also downloaded the SVGA Server from Suse Site, but it is on the
95 partition.
Any assistance on accessing the 95 partition would be of great help.
TIA
See you at home.
