Hi, i need help. i've just started with linux and i'm having a few woes. I'm using slackware linux 9.1 and its my secondary OS in a dual boot with XP Pro. (i know, windows is evil, but its necessary)
anyway, i got three worries
1) how am i supposed to make a boot disk when it says its over 1.44Mb?
2) how do i tell if a device (such as a SCSI card) is picked up by the OS?
3) what does it mean when people tell me to try "recompile the kernel"?
I guess i jumped in at the deep end. Eventually i hope to create a dos(or "XP") menu option to boot into linux like in boot.ini from windows.
