To the List;
My name is Kris Murray. I am interested in downloading this Linux OS.
However, I have some questions and concerns.
1. To download it, do I have to ftp the entire OS from the ftp site to my
hard drive? Or can I just download an installation program that will take
care of downloading each individual file? If I need to ftp the files, which
ones?
2. After I download it, what do I do? I read on the website that I can boot
from floppies or my CD-Rom. But I don't think that is for downloading. What
exactly am I supposed to do to initialize and start up the OS?
3. I also read on the website that installing Linux might wipe out some of
my other files. How frequent is this? Is this something that I should be
concerned about? And if so, what is the scope of the files that it will wipe
out? I have a whole partitioned drive dedicated to Linux. Will other drives
be affected?
I would appreciate it if someone could help me out and answer my questions.
