I cannot tell from your messages if you have managed to install Linux or not so i will reply both ways. Ok I would recommend doing some research on installing and using Linux before you try anything else. An example: https://www.linux.com/learn/t utorials/784060-the-complete-beginners-guide-to-linux. It is not something you can download and run from windows( with the exception of wubi). Normal installation is to download an image, burn/copy to a usb stick/cd/dvd and boot your computer with that. ** This can result in wiping *EVERYTHING ON YOUR HARD DRIVE*** so think twice before doing ;-) > Sorry i don't know how to start a new msg To start a new topic you want to hit 'new' or 'compose' in your email client and use the 'To' address : support@freenetproject.org When you reply to an email you are joining your mail to the existing thread. > but I changed os to Linux but I really don't know what I'm doing, I > would like to put freenet on my external hdd but it doesn't give me > the option that I understand, says something about choosing the > directory, not what disk or drive to put it on I had it on once but > it I believe was on my internal hdd what can/do I do please help new > to Linux but figuring it out slowly thank you In Linux everything is a file there is no c: or d: drives. Normally your first or internal drive is called sda in the 'devices' folder, and your partitions are the number after the drive. so /dev/sda1 'should' be the first partition on your internal drive /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc are 'might' be your external drive - google will help you there too. > The effort of learning Linux will be worth it. This is true, but its a very steep learning curve.
