Hi, I am a newbie in linux. Recently I installed LM 8.1 from 3 CD-ROMs, which I have burned from ISO images that I downloaded from internet. My system is like:
Pentium 133 128 MB Ram ATI Mach64 RAGE/GT 3Com Etherlink III ISA (3C509b-TPO) 2 HDs (1 GB-Windows 95 & 4 GB-Windows and Linux) CD-ROM, floppy, etc During installation (not in expert mode), I noticed that some steps are skipped, like network configuration. After installation, now I have a running system, but there are various problems that I could not figure out, some of which might or might not be related to the incomplete (?) installation. These are: 1) There is no DrakeConf in either Gnome or KDE. There are some tools for configuration having the same icons with DrakeConf (such as hardware, boot & init), but I believe this is an incomplete DrakeConf. There is no tool for display, network settings (some more that I can not remember now), no wizards have been installed. I did not respond any specific questions during installation, to deny installation of any of these components. Are those components part of a purchased system? 2) Primary language is set to US English, whereas secondary language is set to Turkish. I configured my keyboard as a 101 key Turkish keyboard, too. However, I can visualize some Turkish characters (ISO-88...-9) correctly, only when I run K-Word under Gnome (not KDE) and with no application else. Is it something expected? 3) I can not find files by Nautilius, it returns an error indicating root has disabled indexing of the files. How can I enable indexing? 4) There is a network at my workplace, which uses Novell netware. I have a novell client at my computer, by which I can connect the network from Windows 95. Is there any chance for me to connect to the same network from Linux, either with or without a Novell client? Thanks in advance for the ones who may reply specifically, or recommend some specific resources for me to read. Hakan
