Thanks guys:
My floppy cable was backwards. Now, the light turns on when the
floppy is being mounted, written, or read, as it should. I tried chmod
777 /dev/fd* and it worked. I just made my boot disk.
My ASUS AGP V-3400 TNT TV video card is not supported by the X
that I have so I'll just get 3.3.3.1 and take it from there.
I tried a program call mousetest. It placed a white rectangle in
the top left corner but I couldn't get it to move with my mouse. I hit
cntl-c and my screen turned to crap. I had to reboot. I couldn't see
what I was typing but it rebooted fine.
