I still cannot get links to run in graphics-mode on this machine, either under Slack 8.1 or Debian 3.0. Perhaps it's the video card or maybe 8 meg ram is not enough. I've been using Linux for a few years, and this is the only program that has ever crashed Linux. > > Seejpeg does not load, the error message says something about not > > finding a 256 colour mode.

While I thought it might be neat to get graphical links to work, I'll let others mess with it if they want. I don't mind using a text-mode browser. Even on my P1 with X and Mozilla, I still browse in text-mode most of the time. > > I can now compile "Hello world!" on my slack 8.1 test box.

The newer kernels seem a bit sluggish and I get a memory error if I try to mount my CD drive. Howard E.
