Our half term was last week, when there were no queues of 
schoolkids. It was great. I came back on Monday to find that 
Nominet had (accidently!!) deleted our domain name - they're 
unhappy because we have no county in it. As a  result there was 
no email inwards and no access to our website. Just what i need 
on my first day back. It's now resolved, thank goodness, though 
hardly an apology from Nominet!!

As a result there has been little time for looking at Linux. My aim, 
having got one machine ( a pentium 200MH) working with KDE, 
Apache server, printing to a novell network printer and workin as a 
client to Novell giving access to my space on the file server, is now 
to utilise the several 386s and 486s with 4 or 8 Mb, that I have as x 
terminals ( is that the right word). I want to have a fast machine as 
an X server and the slower machine doing some basic stuff via it 
like bweb browsing, email and basic word processing. I've tried to 
put Suse on a 8Mb 486 and it just doesn't work. During the install it 
says too little memory and invites me to start up a second shell by 
using F2 and creating and activating some swap space to use for 
installation. I can't find any help on how to do this. As I have similar 
machines it would be really good to know.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Chris
