A FAQ or readme on some of the new features in 0.98 would be nice. It
took me quite a while to figure out that I didn't need to patch the
kernel to get it to mount the partion it booted from as root. I've
looked in several areas for info on tsx-11 concerning the 0.98 release.
How do you get it into  the various video modes, I like to see a few
more lines on the screen than 25?

One final thing, I've haven't set myself up to find this out yet under
0.98, however, it has been true under 0.96, and 0.97pl2 ( my last kernel
). I have one floppy disk, that when I tried to copy a specific file
from, I get a floppy reset error, that cascadesand can't be broken. It
spills over into the other virtual windows and leaves me with no
recourse but to do a hardware reset. I believe the problem is caused by
a bad sector on the disk. It produces an error condition that takes
control of the disk drive, aparently causing a contionuous head step and
access condition that linux can't recover from.
