Hello, people.

I'm a Swiss Linux Newbie altogether (installed M7 only just about a week
ago), running a stand-alone PII-450 ASUS P2B dual-boot (under LILO) Win98 /
Mandrake 7 machine with 256 MB ram, a Sony GDM 17SE2T monitor set to a
Matrox Millennium G400 32MB board, two 10G+ HDD (hda for Win, hdc for M7),
2 Iomega Zip-Drives as back-up and storage system (a parallel 250 MB + an
USB 100 MB, neither installed under Linux yet), an internal Fritz!PCI ISDN
card and a USRobotics 56k Message Modem (no problems connecting to my ISP
in M7 with the latter). 
Among other things, I've been playing around with Bash a bit and enjoying
the versatility of it. 
But I do have questions on a few items. 
How can I (if at all)
1) use the navigation keys (PgUp, PgDn, Ins, Del...) on the numerical
keypad (not essential, but a matter of habit acquired over many years...) ;
2) use either (or both) of the two Zip drives in Mandrake (if I understand
correctly, Linux seems not to support USB);
3) possibly get the (passive) Fritz ISDN card to work under M7 (Lothar says
that M7 recognizes it as an (active) Fritz A1 card, and allows no
reconfiguration option); AVM offers no Linux drivers for that one;
4) if possible, switch between display resolutions from the M7 Desktop (by
the way: M7 recognizes only 16 MB on my video board).
5) get the wheel on the (PS/2) Logi-Mouse to work in M7 - if I read the
literature correctly, the wheel feature seems to work only for Microsoft mice.

Any help from anyone out there, please ? Thanks !

John
