The right place for a few questions. I installed the pcdist last night and
suceeded! I screwed my ide disk one time, but who cares for MS-* anyways
(i also have a backup ;)

As far as i can see, i like the system. The 8c is fast, giving great
turn around times with writing and debugging. I'm only able to use 640x480x1.
(my card is a Spea Mirage S3 with 868 chip and 2MB dram). Anyone know if i
can patch the vgadb to work with this chip?

In fact, my main question is: Does it make sense to put  work in the
attempt to work with the pcdist. It lacks the man pages, most binarys (as
far as i can see) and (of course) the source. Is it possible to enhance the
system by hand (get 386 binaries from the net &&| free sources?). I used
80MB for the installation with this thought in mind. Is the documentation
available on the net? (maybe parts of it?)

Thanx for any advice

Dirk

ps: ignore my lousy english spelling
