I don't post lightly and have been through all of the FAQS that I can read, but seem to have a few problems w/ my SONY notebook.
1. The system has no Floppy drive and I'm interested in saving my configuration settings. Help? - it seems that a good deal of the systems that now ship have no Floppies. Before I do an install to HDD I'd like to get a better grip on how I see things working.
2. Thin waver modems (like I have w/ my SONY) are a problem in setting up my dial-up connection (reading the FAQS this seems apparent). Any help hear?
3. I have several wireless connection possibilities and although my system works perfectly w/ my present set-up I'd like to switch completley over to Knoppix and explore the better possibilities of LINUX. But cannot cofigure my system to work w/ Knoppix 3.4.
4. I'd like to dual boot. In the earlier days of competitive OSs I'd played w/ OS WARP from IBM and had hoped that they would have been more successful in getting to market. The IBM OS had better everything. Since I've discovered and would like to switch to LINUX what dual boot s/w is suggested?
Thanks all in advance for your help.
