I have decided to swallow my pride and ask for help. Man, do I feel
stupid. Ok this is what happened. I installed StarOffice 4.0. I wanted
to do a network install. That is, I wanted to install the whole thing

1. Is is normally best to try something out in my home directory before
installing it as root? Will this always be possible?
2. Should source file normally be (tar -zxvf *.tar.gz) in /, or /usr, or

I know Linux can be installed ontop of a dos partition. Can it be
installed on top of Win 95 or NT. I need to know this because although I
run linux at home my office is NT and 95. I would like to be able to boot
to linux in the office in order to work on some of my personal projects

Has anyone installed qddb on debian. Could you tell me the correct

It is my understanding that you cannot use dosemu to access partitions
which use the lilo boot system. This seems to indicate that the boot
partition, normally dev/hda1, cannot be DOS on a dual boot system if you
intend to use dosemu from linux. Two solutions are suggested by this. One

In my work as corporate technical recruiter I see thousands of resumes and
lots of job requests. I have yet to see linux on any of them. ( except my
own resume) Most people in the industry, with the exception of some nt

My office runs NT in a peer to peer configuration. We use foxpro alot.
Is there anyway that I could run Debian on my machine at work, so I can
use what I am already comfortable with, but maintain a connectivity with

One of the posters to this thread noted that even if a question has been

I am about to start a new job. My boss sent me some documentation with

I have been thinking that some system of evaluating proficiency in
Debian Gnu/Linux and its applications might be helpful to both beginning
