Well I'm back to playing with SuSE Linux 6.2 but need some help.

1) I configured my desktop to load SuSE Linux 6.2 lilo from a floppy. It
takes forever to boot. Would copying the disk to a CD-ROM speed things up?

2) Kfirewall configurations says I need ipchains. Is this a package that I
need to install?

3) I have an iomega Ditto tape drive I would like to configure. I have
created a directory called dev/ftape. However, what should the tape device
be called? dev/???

Thanks for all your help.
Fred
