1. EESOX SCSI 2 and Kinetic cards
---------------------------------

If you experience Freezes whilst attempting to access a SCSI drive
using an EESOX SCSI 2 card and a Kinetic card, then try turning off
Lazy Task Swapping using the !Laziness Application. You will also
need to unplug the DMAManager by press F12 and typing *Unplug 
DMAManager and following that with *Unplug CDFSSoftSCSI2.
With some Kinetic Cards it is also necessary to *Unplug DMAManager
as a matter of course.


2. How do I release/renew a DHCP lease?
---------------------------------------

From the commandline type

DHCP eh0 to enable DHCP
or
DHCP -eh0 to disable DHCP

You may need to replace eh0 by the specific interface in use on your computer.


3. I get an error running !Alarm
--------------------------------

If you get errors when trying to run !Alarm it is likely that
you did not do a Delete Power-on when changing from RISC OS 4.0x
to RISC OS Select for the first time. 
This will be because you had a module unplugged when running RISC OS 4.0x
The reason is that the exact module that is unplugged is referenced
by Module Number rather than Module Name so when the new version
of RISC OS is loaded, a different Module will be unplugged.
Typical examples of Alarm failing are the error message
"!Alarm RunImage cannot be found"


4. How do I Patch !PCConfig
---------------------------
Get the Patch from RISC OS Select Google Vault.

http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/riscos-select

The latest version of Patch is available
CDFS::SELECT_3_ISS_3.$.RISCOS402.DISCIMAGE.DISCIMAGE.Utilities.Patches.!Patch


5. Why can't I access a DOS partition which I have created using Select?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not a Select problem. If you created the DOS partition using
a FAT32 format you will need a copy of Warm Silence Software Win95FS.


6. I get all sorts of errors immediately after installing Select
----------------------------------------------------------------
Don't forget to execute a Delete Power On to set the CMOS settings
correctly for RISC OS Select.


7. My Scroll Mouse doesn't work
-------------------------------
Scroll Mouse only works with STD PS2 Adaptors.
The Simtec USB, Castle USB and Castle PS2 adaptors don't support
Scroll Mice.


8. Why does the Screensaver slow down printing?
-----------------------------------------------
Because some animations etc use a lot of CPU time.
Switch to using the DPMS screensaver if you have other processes
running that you don't want to be interrupted by the ScreenSaver.


9. How to get rid of Net Icon if no Ethernet fitted.
----------------------------------------------------
*Unplug NetI
