Also, how do you stop the boot process, pressing the shift key has no effect when booting from floppy. The shift key interrupts LILO, but when you boot a disk image you've got a kernel image loaded by BIOS and jumped to directly. So LILO isn't part of the process.

Re: Newbie installation questions
Hello, On Sun, Apr 23, 2000 at 10:22:46PM +, David Jenkins wrote: Hi all! I just successfully installed Debian 2.1 on a separate 2 Gbyte hard drive on my Intel PC. The installation process went quite smoothly, especially for me, a Linux-newbie. Kudos to the Debian team for an excellent release! Whoever has worked on this has done an excellent job. The price was pretty good too--$12 from Linux Systems Labs for 4 CD's (2 source code and 2 binaries). I do have several questions I'd appreciate some help with: 1. I need to keep Windows98 on the primary 12 Gbyte hard drive, and would like to boot Debian from a floppy. (That way, the rest of the family won't even know Linux is on our machine, until I get everything working properly.) I created a boot floppy during installation, and when I boot the system with it in the floppy drive, Debian does indeed come up, but it takes a very long time. Is it possible to set up the boot floppy so that the system does boot from it, but once it does, transfers to the Linux kernal on the hard drive (/dev/hdb1)? Is that a sensible question? After taking care of question 2 try the following: Read man lilo.conf man lilo See /usr/doc/lilo 2. My installation does not recognize the Linux man command. How can I install it, and the man pages for system commands? To install the man-db package, look in the doc sections in dselect. There is also a package called manpages which has man pages for the Linux system in gereral. Application specific man pages are installed when you install the *.deb packages. 3. How can I mount my Win98 FAT32 partition on startup? It mounts fine after Linux boots up if I enter the command mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt/win98. Read man fstab See file /etc/fstab 4. When I boot Linux, I get a message about hdb1, the Linux hard drive on my system, not having been cleanly unmounted. How do I shut down Linux so that the Linux partition is cleanly unmounted? You need to stop the system properly so file system can be sync'd and running programs terminated cleanly. Commands for halt and reboot are: shutdown -h 0 (halt system now) shutdown -r 0 (reboot system now) Read man shutdown 5. I've installed release 4.0 of XFree86, and run xf86config. When I enter startx, I get the message xinit: error in loading shared libraries. libXmu.so.6: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory. I can find libXmu.so.6 in directory /usr/X11R6/lib. How do I tell the system where this file is located? Not sure about this, sorry.

They do now :-) Linux is their first introduction to this way of doing things, and it's a pretty steep curve when you are trying to work it out at home after work. 'Steep curve' is an understatement - 'bewildering' is more like it. I know because I am one of those people - reasonably fearless and proficient with computers, but I've never even touched a machine with Unix installed on it. (of course I have mucked around in DOS) I don't think it is sad that people are coming to Linux with no Unix experience. I think it's great. That doesn't mean I think anything should change about Debian to accomodate them, it just means we should be careful to be welcoming and not elitist, because even if it makes you feel cool, elitism never helps in the long run. That's all. Well said. I meant to nudge gently the language used, not urge any wholesale OS changes. Have you ever seen the book The Unix Programming Environment by Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike ? It's one of those rare books which says little and teaches you a lot. That book gets my vote as a model for welcoming tone and clear presentation (it can also teach you a lot about Linux).

you could try mmv
for example, if files are: foo_bar
just do
mmv foo*bar foo\ bar (the quotes are required)
possibly not the easiest way, but it works:

works only with bash 2.x (probably you have one ...).

Is there a command to insert that means I can veiw the output page by page and change pages when I want to ? Not sure what you mean by 'ls large files'. Check out the utility called 'less', you can go a line at a time, scroll backwards and all kinds of nifty stuff. hth rbt I've also got a problem with GNOME in that the screen only partially=20 fits onto my monitor any idea where I can find the config file for this?
