But to my dismay I found that CDdrive & CDwriter don't work (icons are there on the desk top but when clicked gives the messsage not a valid block device ),640 c HP printer not working(when conf msg. no driver) ,Motorola sm 56 Modem not working All work perfectly in windows.So I went on the net for help ,some told I have to rebuild the kernel , config the device etc .I am totally new to linux so u kno I cant do. ur site has an ad. for training ,I sent a mail & got the reply ,sorry no training . when this is the situation how u r going to get more people .So first give some practical training ,then people will try linux, will have common things to discuss,or it is quit to linux. " If some body can help me in solving my problem I will be grateful .I am at [EMAIL PROTECTED]" With hopes to hear more . M.S. Pratap Chandran
