[question 1 about X11]

I don't use X11 on my 2400 any more so unfortunately I can't help you there.

Look at /etc/sysconfig/mouse -- the last line should be something like:

TRACKPAD_OPT=notap

Change "notap" to whatever you like; this setting will be applied 
during startup.

As per my last post, I'm not sure what's going on.

Another thing which I don't do on my 2400 due to how I use it (as a 
gateway machine that's on AC power all the time).

Yes, it works.  The command:

mount /mnt/floppy

or, if you don't want to use the default /mnt/floppy mount point,

mount /dev/fd0 /your_mount_point_path_here

You can also edit /etc/fstab to specify mount points for just about anything.
