I just wanted to mention (for anyone who didn't know already) that I found an easy way to go thru the documentation. (I don't have X installed. I need to learn linux before I can begin playing with X) For anyone using the command line to navigate the system, if you start lynx with the parameter of '/' (that is, a slash without the single quotes) it points lynx to your root directory and lynx becomes a file manager. (I used to use XTree on DOS years ago, so for me, this is great.) > But just know that you do not have to reinstall > Debian to tweak and > reconfigure the system.

I'm keeping a notebook of all the files and utilities I find in my exploration of linux. maybe in a few months we'll see yet another linux doc out there... > PS: If you have any other configuration issues > with your Debian > installation, speak up now and we'll try and > help you in ways that won't > require you to reinstall Debian. > well... now that you mention it... ;-) no, seriouisly, I just have to figure out the nameing conventions used on the system for all config files. can you recomend any good books on linux sys administration? thanks!! xucaen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
