based on your email i make the assumption that you may not be fully able to install/setup linux on a laptop(one of the more complicated platforms to install to due to the hardware in them) i suggest you attempt to seek out someone who can help you in person. most linux users are more then happy to assist and installation for a new user for no charge.
learning how to use linux is more important then learning how to install it. nate On Fri, 3 Dec 1999, Brigette Heffner wrote: briget >Why is it so hard to get anywhere with Linux? briget >In plain English...how do I get help with the install?
