Hello Again,
Last night was nearly fruitless. Well, I
shouldn't say that; at least I have some specific
questions now.
My current situation is that I have installed
debian from floppy disks and can boot. I have created
a regular user and root. I'm learning the basic unix
commands, but just beginning. There are several
devices on my machine that I either do not know how to
access, or are not setup properly. I'm not even sure
which it is. For example, I assume the floppy drive
is working properly, and I have read that it is named
/dev/fd0, but I do not know how to access it. So,
here are my questions:
How do I access /dev/fd0?
How do I access my CD-ROM drive? (It is the slave on
the 2nd IDE).
I have an adaptec SCSI card with a CD-Burner attached.
How do I know whether it is setup properly and how do
I access it?
My modem is an internal PCI modem; I do not beleive it
is a winmodem. How do I set it up?
My network card is a linksys pci card. How do I set
that up?
I appreciate any suggestions. I only have
internet access during the day while I'm at the office
(until my modem is set up on debian), so I cannot use
any web resources while working on the debian machine.
Boy, I hope that changes soon!
Thanks in advance,
John
