Happy Hug-My-Knee, All ! I tried Linux a couple of years ago and got nowhere except frustration-ville...
BUT I persist in wanting to try/use Linux and have stayed in the SLUG list....I'm about to get a new OLD computer and install either Debian or maybe Kubuntu so, here's my quick question: I just put the Debian Live CD in (Knoppix) and booted up, but the system locked up when I tried to find out how to use Konqueror (because I couldn't see how to connect to the internet and therefore accessed the How-To files in Konqueror and it just - locked up !)........ Was this just because everything runs very slowly when you run a LIVE version (and I should have just been patient...?), or was it just - well - locking up (as it appeared) ? Also, assuming I DO succeed in loading Knoppix, how will I connect to t'internet? In Windows, there is a double arrow icon in the lower right-hand corner that will bring up a BT ADSL window which we have to use to connect, but Knoppix did not seem to detect this or allow me a way to see/connect to my ADSL modem..... I realise these are maybe just dumb newbie-style questions, but any encouraging words will be helpful...... - Cheers ! - Paul Birchard _______________________________________________ No banners.
