Hi there folks ...

I have been experimenting with xdenu (Ver 2.0) - a mini version of
Linux which I found on the sunsite miror here in Canberra.  xdenu
promises basic x-windows and simple telecommunications.  In an
effort to make it work on several computers I loaded the kit with
straight vga features.  (There are also kits for some of the
go-fast cards as well as svga).

After loading the software I get to the set up.  Running xconfig
produced soem different(?) questions.  Can you help with suitable
answers?

1)  Font server name??  I tried fred ... but it didn't like that!

2)  Font server's port number (said to be usually 7000!)??

3)  1024 x 768 default?  (I answered NO, because I wanted it to
use a vga default!)

4)  72Hz refresh rate for 1024 x 768?   I said NO because I didn't
want that particular default!  It doesn't seem to be hearing me!!)

5 to 8   Were 4 questions about my mouse - and I think I answered
them correctly - with serial mouse sitting on com 1, with a link
in /dev/mouse and having three buttons!!

Can you help with these answers??
