First the hardware:
An HP Pavilion 6350 with an AMDK6-2 333Mhz (no overclocking - it
doesn't like it).
Onboard SiS 5598 Video
Onboard Cystal Sound (haven't re-run sndconfig yet)
Internal NetGear Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter FA-310TX (Tulip Driver is
supplied with it, and works just fine with the Tulip drive in
Mandrake)
So here's the problems:
When I tried to run just upgrade the 6.1 started to complain about
packages not being there, but they were. So, drawing my experience
with 'breaking' my installation I ran it in install mode and only
reformated /.
The new Xserver gave black blocks where it should have shown text. I
forced an upgrade to the older Xserver and that got me back my text.
However, I now have a desktop that is bigger than my screen. I'd like
to fix this.
When I tried to tell 6.1 that I had a DEC Tulip card it told me it
couldn't detect it on the system and wouldn't let me do anything with
LAN stuff. LinuxConf let me designate eth0 as a connection tho, and
tell it which driver to use. However, I now can't get my eth0
connection to obtain DHCP info when the machine boots up. It works
fine if I issue the command 'ifup eth0' after boot up. This is
annoying b/c I use yi.org and had it automated so that I didn't have
to run the script everytime I rebooted.
And last (I think), but certainly not least - how can I get my
backspace key to work like a backspace again?
As always, TIA!!
