So, I just sent the above a couple of minutes ago, and decided to give the
above directions a whirl myself. I opened Konsole, found my way into the
/etc/rc.d/ directory (yes, this is still a challenge for me, like I said in
another post, I'm as newbie as they come), and then it said rc.local wasn't a
directory, so I go find it through KFM (which is almost like a loss to me; I'm
trying really hard to learn to use the terminal window), and I see its a shell
script. So how do I go about modifying one of them? Preferably through Konsole,
but any way will do....
Thanks!
peace,
