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
