I usually use a text browser to gather information, but like Sam I also like useing a graphical browser, that's why I use Arachne, but it bugs the crap out of me to have to use windoze and IE to go places I have to go but can't in DOS. As CLI is easier for me than GUI I have considered Linux, but where I can get a quite usable command line even in win2000, the Linux seems horribly cryptic and complex!!! I can access my hd easy enough useing, mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /hd but using the floppy is something else, I have to mount umount dismount and fall off the horse just to move the write protect on the disk. I wish I had printed out a lot of the Linux posts as I have learned some and could use them now. Is there an easier less type happy way of useing the floppy drive? Like typing A:. I have found that formatting the disks in BasicLinux helps.
