I've downloaded the mini Linux distribution, and I'm happy to say it seems
to work quite well.  I have encountered a couple of problems I can't seem
to fathom...

If I modify /etc/motd to diosplay a different message, but I reboot, the
file reverts back to "Welcome to Linux 1.0.9 (Posix)".  Why does my change
not remain after a reboot?

The X-Windows supplied seems to be setup for SVGA screens.  My display is
only a lowly VGA, though.  Is there some config file somewhere that I can
set what display I have?

I there some kind of 'sysinfo' utility in the version I have, or is one
available?  The PC I'm using is a 386-sx laptop with a Cyrix 486 upgrade.
I am 'enabling' the 486 in dos before loading Linux, but I want to check
that it is still enabled after Linux is loaded.

I know the floppy drive is /dev/fd1, but how do I access files from floppy?
At the moment I'm having to copy the files to hd under DOS, then load
Linux. I assume there is an easier way!

TIA. Cheers,
