I was very pleased with the smoothness and ease of the=20
install procedure of RH4.0 from CD.
On my Gateway P5-100 with ATI Mach64 GX(?), Vivitron1776,
Sanyo 3CD player, with a 1.2GB WDC HD it all went very well,=20
without a hitch. LILO works fine.
The only thing was that for MetroX I had to specify other
harware, than I thought I had, according to an earlier posting
here.
I shall also have to find out how to access all the 3 CDs, rather
than just the first. Has this been discussed here?=20
RPM is excellent, installing additional software with it -
a pleasure.
One problem: in the xterm windows I cant use the pipe symbol, which
does not help. In editor windows it shows, in xterms - it is ignored,
and so is a =A3 pound (currency) symbol (Shift-3 on a UK keyboard).
I use a standard UK keyboard setting in Metro. The rest of the=20
characters are correct.
I noticed this has been discussed here, but apparently without
any resulting howto's.=20
I would be most grateful for any help. I am not a C or X programmer,
so it may have to be a more detailed hint, if anybody will be so kind.
Bar is a useful symbol.=20
Thanks in advance,
