Hi all,

I'm using an XServer to connect to my Linux box from W2k. The
backspace key (and the delete key) work like the delete key. However,
when I do a SHIFT+BACKSPACE, the backspace key works like it's
supposed to. How do I fix that so that I don't have to use the SHIFT
key? It's pretty annoying especially in VIM.
Here is the command the XServer uses at login, not sure if that helps
though:
(/usr/bin/X11/xterm -fn 6x13 -sb -ls -display %IP#% -name %T% &)

Thanks a bunch,
Jim

man xmodmap, it is there as an example.

Works in Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris; don't know about Windows.

 
 
 

1. LILO help <><><><><><>

I just installed RH6 on a box that only had a 50MB DOS partition to
begin with.
During the RH install, I used Disk Druid to set up additional
partitions as follows:
/       ~1 GB
swap    ~40 MB
/usr    ~500 MB
/boot   ~10 MB

When prompted, I told it to install LILO into the "/boot" partition.

Upon restarting the system after the install, it booted into DOS again
from my origional active DOS partition.

I tried booting from the emergency rescue disk that I was prompted to
create during the install, but it gives me an error "0x10" and stops.

I can boot using the RH "boot.img" boot disk, hitting F4, and then
inserting the "rescue.img" disk made from dosutils on the RH CD, but I
have no idea what to do from there.

I want to make the thing boot with LILO and ask whether to start DOS or
boot Linux (as default). I realize now that I probably shoud've just
told it to install LILO into the MBR.

Please tell me there is an easy/painless way to get LILO to do this
without re-installing totally.
