    I tried to load Rhlinux 5.2 from the March 99 pcquest cd. However I =
could not configure XWindows properly because my video card  sis6215-2 =
isn't supported. ( I could only run x in 16-color 640*480 mode or in =
8-bit mode at a very poor resolution)
    I tried to follow the tip given in the Dec98 pcq which is also =
present on the linux-india site. First we were supposed to run the =
commands:
        rpm -i xsis.rpm
        cd /;    tar xvfz xsuseconfig.tgz

    However when I ran the last command, I got the following error:
       =20
        tar(child): cannot open archive xsuseconfig.tgz : No such file =
or directory
        tar(child):
        tar: child returned status 2
        tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

    I know that the xsis package is installed. I checked with rpm -ql =
xsis.
    This is the first time I am experimenting with linux and without =
xwindows, I pretty much can't do anything. Please help.
