From: Crist J. Clark > I have made boot floppies like this before. I'm just going to recite > what I /think/ I did from memory. I might leave out a detail or two, > but this is the gist of it. [...] Thanks for this, and to all who answered. I now have a bootable setup. One other question... This is probably simple, but it's frustrating - I've installed and set up X windows, using XF86Setup, which worked fine. But when I say "OK" to save settings and start the X server, the screen displays fine (with vidtune running to let me teak settings) but there is no mouse pointer! The pointer was fine in the VGA-resolution setup, but it's gone in my 1024x768 final screen. I'm using a Matrox Millenium G400 with 32M of RAM, if that's relevant. Is there a simple issue I've missed, or do I need to supply all the gory details of my settings? Thanks for any help, Paul.
