Hi
1>.I have installed it mu12r0 in my HD. I have done
this directly following the instructions for
non-floppy system
2>.How do I change to SVGA. I was using the 11r12
release earlier. Is there any modification in the X11
add-on.
3>. With this problem I just generally surfed the
net and found this link which explains the Bus error
problem. Does this link give the correct info.
