Back again

[Dan Murphy]

Hi all.
Finally after a year of not having a machine I could run Linux on I
finally have one.
It's a P200, and I installed Slackware 10.1 with kernel 2.4.29 and Speakup
2.0.  the machine has only 16 MB of ram and 1.9 GB drive space, but I hope
to remedy that in the next few weeks.
I do have a question but I'm not sure if it's Slackware specific or
something else.  Before I could use alt f1 through alt f6 to select up to
6 consoles simultaneously.  this seems to have gone away.  Is it because
of low memory or has there been some significant change with the bash
shell or what?
I can see in the boot process that it is going multi-user, so init is
running at level 3, and everything else seems to run ok.
I like some of the changes in Speakup too.
the machine isn't on the net, that's a few weeks away too, until I can get
a network card.
I need to get back into the swing of this, but I've forgotten a few
things, so could somebody update me on any major changes over the past
year or so?
thanks.
