I'm fairly new to Linux altogether, I'm running Ubuntu on my main PC and have an old PC 75 200mhz that I wanted to load something else on. I previously had FreeBSD on there, but after discovering how much better Linux was, I decided to try a change. I've been at this for about 1.5 months total.

I'm booting from a floppy with the CD in the drive, but it's not recognizing the mouse.

I have yet to close X and try to reconfig the xorg or xfree86 configure file (not sure which one it uses).

Any tips?

exit X (ctrl+alt+backspace)

run xsetup.sh

config your stuff.

DSL uses the Kdrive TinyX servers.
