Hello,

I'm new to the group having installed Basic Linux just yesterday on an old  - 
make that *very* old (17 years) - laptop.
The machine is very basic too having no network connection and only a floppy 
disk for software transfer purposes.
I bought it in a second hand shop for a couple of euro and have unfortunately 
had to scrap about half the hard disk capacity
due to bad sectors :-(. 
 
But the good news is, BL3 works on it albeit without the GUI but who cares... 
I wanted to learn the linux command line stuff.

One question to begin with though: Is it possible in some way to halt the 
avalanche of start -up messages so that
I can see what's going on before they dissappear from the (black & white ;-)) 
screen?

Thanks,
