oh man, I so remember a lot of this. I started my Linux journey with RedHat 4.2 that I bought from Hastings (Music/Video/Book store). I remember minicom and typing ATDT and the number of my ISP to get the modem to dial, then once connected, that was only half the battle, you had to exit minicom and run some 'ppp' script. I also remember the LI.. of LILO not loading .. and yes 'xf86config' helper script.
I'm actually so glad I had all the weird quirks of the 'early' linux days to work with, like compiling your own kernel to get some PCI or ISA card to work .. if I had not been tinkering all those nights I don't know what line of work I would have gone into ..
