What programming langue to learn.

yeah, go with something nice and simple to understand the basics then move onto more heavy stuff. maybe start with some web scripting? php is very simple. javascript on the client side? then onto c, c++ and take over the world!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....................:)

How do you setup linux display manually?

I believe that you can also set this up using /etc/lilo.conf and then running lilo by setting the parameter vga. various resolutions can be set eg 800x600 etc................... check out "man lilo.conf" I do also recall using xf86config for this but the lilo.conf is nice and straight...

configuring lilo after a recompile

Tiger and nothinman, thanks - you were right on the money...... I had edited lilo.conf, but I hadn't really understood that /dev/hda1 referred to the first partition, /dev/hda2 for the second partition on the first master disk. I put my boot=/dev/hda1, but as I wanted to boot from the hard...
