Hello. This is my first post. I am very new to Linux and have installed
Slackware 8.1 on a old duel pentium 90 HP system. My goal is to try to set
it up as a firewall, as well as learn a little bit about Linux. The system
has a network card built on the motherboard (worked with Windows installed
on it) and a second network card installed in one of its two PCI slots (also
worked when Windows was installed). The second PCI slot has a old video
card which the monitor is plugged in to.
When I installed the OS, it seemed that it may have only detected one
network card. Me haveing a very limited knowledge about the OS, I do not
know exactly where I need to look to see if only one card was detected, and
if so, which is missing (and why).
I have been doing some searching but haven't really found any documents
pointing out where I need to go.
Also, this is very minor in my need to know right now, and I might never use
it, but when I type "startx" it comes back with Fatal Error:No sceeens
found. I did go through the config, but it still comes up with the error.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to look? Thanks. =)
