I've got a few questions, any assistance would be appreciated...

Dial-Up:
How do you use ppp-on without always logging on as root?
Is there a better dial-up option that doesn't require being root?
How do you get Netscape to auto-dial?

X: 
How do you change resolution and color depth?

Also does the svga server in 3.3.3 support Matrox mga 200 cards?
They say it does, but it's not listed on my install (I'm assuming
that I have 3.3.3 the info says Version=11, Revision=6, Release=3330).
Is there a way to get the MS scroll-mouse to scroll windows?

Mounting:
How do you mount 2 CD drives on a scsi chain?
My first is mounted as dev/cdrom, but there is no dev listing in
linuxconf 
for my second.

How do you mount an LS-120 as hda?
I mounted my zip as hdb4, but there is no option for the LS-120 under
linuxconf. I've tried using hdb0 thru hbd4. On boot-up it lists the
LS-120
and its size, speed, etc. just like the zip.

TIA
