Hello, I first want to thank those members of alug who are already trying to help me with my problems with Mulinux. I was interested to find that markj@cloa has had the same kind of problem that I am having. However, I think that the cause is something that I do not understand and am doing wrong. I do not think that the cause is the fact that the distribution is not being updated as he suggests. Going to the Mulinux homesite and looking at /mulinux/mu/current one finds that there have been eight versions of the kernel this year, 2001, from mulinux-11r6 last modified 18 Jan 2001 to mulinux-12r0 on 14 Jun 2001. Similarly, of the eleven addons,the five earliest were last modified on 23 Dec 2000, and the three latest on 14 Jun 2001. I suspect that some of those writing about Linux, especially if English is not their native language, for DOS users do not appreciate the "ignorance" of the latter on things Linux. Some writers to the Mulinux homesite have asked how one can make a 1.722 Mb floppy. The answer, as I remember, was not satisfactory. Best wishes, Norman Rule
