Soren, Jacob and Bryan, I REALLY appreciate your input. These are the exact sort of issues that would really mess my installation up without having a prior understanding of theses concepts. It definitely seems to me that I may want to get a "Linux for Dummies" book or something along that line to learn more about concepts such as directory structure, boot managers, symlinking and userids. Do you have any recommendations for a good "overview" book that would cover the main issues you are pointing out? I'm not offended if it really is "Linux for Dummies"! :)
Unfortunately I don't know of a good book for you. I have had a copy of "Calder OpenLinux Unleashed" for quite some time, but have rarely cracked it. Other than that, I've learned from playing around, using the newsgroup, and google. Probably not the most efficient way to learn...
Bryan
