Hi folks,
No wonder so many people do give up on Linux! :-)
I have downloaded for the second time ( in case of error) the IBM
WEbsphere package and attempted to install it.
All of the responses are fine all the way EXCEPT that the program is
nowhere to be seen. Yet if I try to install again I'm told it is
there. If I uninstall I can then re-install and go around the same
rosebush!
It has also happened with IglooFTP just now, so it isn't a faulty IBM
D/load.
And this is the easy stuff!
I haven't started on the fact that my soundcard is recognised and no
sound at all.
My printer was bought especially for Linux compatability and it half
works ( Lexmark Z32)
I have RT$%#$%%M and tried MANY times to solve these things
myself............
I have noted many errors in the destructions which I am notarising to
forward when I finally get through it all, especially the problems
with bug-fixes that Newbies certainly would not be expecting to
require before the install would work!
With all of this in mind, I would like to ask the other REAL Newbies
( non-commandliners) on the list to send me the "gotchas" that caught
them when starting out and I will put them into a report for Mandrake
to help others along the way.
It can be done! We can escape that other one! AND take others with
us! :-)
Meanbwhile, any help on the above greatly appreciated - I opened my
expanded mouth and said " No worries - I'll just switch over to Linux
(Mandrake - the easy one!) over the weekend and get the new Site up
in a flash............... "
