That's my point, I inserted the linux HD as the boot disk. I don't have a 
floppy drive, (otherwise I would have inserted a normal DOS floppy and I 
am all set). What is the single user mode?

Yeah, I guess the cannot open display error was when I typed in 
X-windows/xterm etc etc. Now I rememeber, if I type dosemu or dos, it 
just gives basically the same prompt like before. None of the like usual 
DOS that i am used to.

Anything else that you would like to help is more than appreciated!
