Hmm, what program? You mean Linux itself? I cannot > seem to do much at the $. Get a book like 'Linux in a Nutshell". $ is a command prompt, hats where you you type your commands. I run dselect with my root account but cannot > find the packages.cd. I thought Debian had a graphical interface. Debian has graphical interface, it's X. Just download all the needed files/install from the CD, you will have all the GUI you need. > What > might I be doing or have done that is wrong? I get the error message > /dev/hda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced. Unproper shutdown (Linux is sensitive to things like hitting reset/power button). If you need to reboot, use 'reboot', if you need to shutdown, use 'poweroff'. Everything will be done for you (disk umounting, etc.) Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrei S.
