PPP configured, X works good. 3 small questions: #1) I was not after numerous attempts able to get the boot manager to work. I have windows on my 1st ide drive, and FreeBSD on my 2nd. When I boot, I have to stick in the floppy, and type 'wd(1,a)/kernel' Is it possible to get a boot manager working after install? #2) X-Windows looks great! I tweaked and tweaked and tweaked to perfection. The only problem is an annoying 4 pixel or so jerk as I mouse from one side to the other. The screen moves as if it wants to go into the virtual area, but I'm not quite to the edge. I've tried all sorts of desktop configurations, but to no avail. I'm using S3/FVWM. Any suggestions? #3) I can't seem to get rid of the Netscape KEYSYM errors. I've added/changed the environment variable as it suggested, but still... Arrow keys & delete don't work (related problem, I'm sure) _any_ help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a million, Douglas Conley
