I have had a similar problem. What do I do in such a situation to
get it back up? Also what books or websites would you
reccomend that have the commands and explanations. I have the
HOW TO site bookmarked. It is the one with all the howtos, also I
have the howto htmls installed at home. I am at school so I can't
look at them. I am not a computer science major so I want
something that will be easy to understand. I choose to go to Linux
when WIN 95 kept locking up on me at least once a day. I have
had to reboot 5 times in one day fairly often. Any advice and
reccomendations on learning linux would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Wes
