This is a rather long topic. See Sound-HOWTO on your box. > b. is there any utility like windows scandisk, to check my > hdd for errors & badsectors. Better than scandisk. For badblocks program to be run, the preferred utility for ext2 file system is e2fsck e2fsck -c -p -v /dev/hdN (where N is the No of the partition) Note: The partition should not be mounted when this is run. If this is on your / partition you need to do this from your rescue disk. fsck will also do, but not invoke badblocks. > c. caldera came bundled with kde, but i want to install > gnome. can i have the two co-existing in my system & how > to do it? > Yes, both can be simultaneously installed and will not be a hinderance to each other.
