Hi, Steven & Sindi! 

This is Czerno speaking! I've done my home work, found the
/etc/XConfig and edited its 1st line to : 1024x768x4 .

Was then able to boot X successfully ! As I suspected, the 8-bit or
more colour modes cause Xstart to fail for whatever reason, but 4-bit
planar modes work and all's well that ends well  :=)

I had none DOS mouse driver - really clean boot. In view of the
preceding, won't need to try the LILO/floppy boot either.

I have an even older WD with even less memory than the Orchid and I
am glad I won't have to try the substitution.



Now please tell... 
1) can I enable SSL/TLS in the simple browser ? 
2) can somebody point me to simple instructions for enabling the
French keyboard under X & at the console (I know that is 2 different
questions)

Thanks !
