cool you made it! welcome. now comes the hard part -- and the fun part -- having your debian system do what you want it to do. here's what you need to do first: 1) passwd make sure you set a password for root. 2) decide what you'd like to do with your system. 3) read everything twice, including the stuff at newbieDoc.sourceForge.net :) . then read it again. take notes. 4) post specific questions here. -- recommended: apt-get install task-newbie-help less /usr/doc/task-newbie-help/README.Debian apt-get install debian-guide lynx `dpkg -L debian-guide | grep debian-guide/html/noframes/index.html` note that "double quotes" and 'single quotes' and `backticks` are significant, as is UPPERCASE and lowercase. -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #23 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Wondering what you should BACK UP -- and what you shouldn't? Here's a "how I do it" written by a debian-user regular, Karsten Self: http://kmself.home.netcom.com/Linux/FAQs/backup.html This is a frequent topic on debian-user; check the archives at lists.debian.org for other backup approaches -- search for "backup scheme".
