I know I've posted alot lately but I have a couple of problems:

1. How do you configure your shell?  Under my user accounts with outside
servers I had .login, .tcshrc, and other files that I could find and edit.
Is that the same under the root login?  If so where do I put those files?
(I would think that there is already some configuration file somewhere
because it always loads fortune at bootup and it would not find it.)

2. At bootup the kernel would tell me to check my fsck but I see nothing wrong
with it.  It says to do something before the problem becomes fatal.  ???

3. I finally got Lilo up and running on the MBR of /dev/hda (my Linux 
partition os in /dev/hdb1 because hda has DOS and OS/2 on it).  I initially
tried to get Lilo to recognize my HPFS partition but apparently it didn't
recognize it and was never mounted.  Once I took that statement out it was
properly mounted and now runs (with just Linux and DOS statements).  But
*again* it didn't run properly -- at bootup it just prints "LILO" and runs DOS
at the end ouf the timeout.  I can't make any choices of what I want to load.


4. I can't get my X to work.  I checked my .xinitrc and XF86Config and I dunno
what's wrong with them.  This is my XF86Config:

Fatal server error:
no screens found

I have absolutely no idea what that x.out was talking about...

5. If you want to find out what applications you have in your system how do
you go about doing that?  (Currently I just go into each directory and sniff
them out; once I find it I write their locations down.)

6. Can Linux play .au files?  If so does Linux Slackware have an .au player
incuded?  If not where can I find one?


If you have any time to help me it'd be greatly appreciated!  Thanx!  :)
