linux experiences i've had.
Well here's a summary of my experience with ubuntu:
-Wiped LFS partition (I previously stuffed it up)

Ooops *redface*
What was that about the command line getting up and biting...??
Of course taking the computer tomorrow is a good option, but it looked

Nothing extraodinary.
Now the command to use to check for any files on that partition (which
you just mounted at /mnt) is called ls. Sorry
Isaac (My brother) Has got 5 official disk sets (sent from them).
He will give a couple away .

I've got install and live ( 1 disk each ). Shall I bring a couple of
copies of install along ( live is a knoppix-like approach )? I'll have the

3) Boot from SuSE disk 1 but select "rescue system". You then have to
fix it up on the command line, and I'd do something like
mount /dev/hda?? /mnt # mount your root filesystem
managed to mount hdc5 and hdc7 with above command...would not accept hdc1 as
it was a NTFS partition and hdc6 was Linux
Yes I would also like a set if one is available.

I tried forcing Knoppix to use a framebuffer driver. Either it doesn't
work, or I made a mistake, but it didn't help. I wasn't able to spend much
time on it (sorry Kelvy

I was forced to use sudo with ubuntu, and a good job too as I was too
much in the habit of being root.
However when I set it up on other systems, i find a lot of messages
like:
sudo: eupdatedb: command not found
I am pretty sure that this is because the command is in /usr/sbin which
is in root

can you browse sites by IP address with opera?
eg go to a xterm and type
host www.ihug.co.nz
then put http://111.222.233.244/ into opera (where 111.222.233.244 is
the ip address returned by the host command.)
