Hi:
I am very new to linux and I am trying to use oralux on my mom's computer in
order to delete a file left over from a virus that can't be deleted in any
other way. The FLight synthesizer doesn't seem to work on her system so I'm
using the Russian/English synthesizer with yasr.
I saw a similar problem mentioned in the archives with the following
response:
try using the cheat code knoppix alsa when first booting up the
cd.
How do I do this?
I can't seem to get to the C drive. Do I have to mount it first? I read
something in the archives about typing
mount /dev/drivename
Do I have to be in the root directory? do I type
mount /dev/c
I also read that I should type the following to mount my hard drive:
mount /mnt/hda1
Do I need to be in root before I can delete a file on the hard drive? I read
the following in the archives but I don't understand most of it.
Now, to go into root in an emacspeak shell buffer, do this.
Open the shell, m-x then spell out the word shell.
After you are there, just enter su with no additional command line
arguments. The system should say root and you will be ready to do
whatever you need to do as root.
Would I do the same thing in yassr?
Also, when I type "ls" I hear the list of files but I can't find any way to
navigate through the list one at a time. Is there any way to do this?
I read the following in the archives but I'm not sure it applies.
I can recommend you to use dired to open a directory. Do this:
press F10
then press return,
then press down-arrow followed by return.
then type the path you want to start browsing from, then return.
then you can open a dirrectory or open a file by pressing return
while cursor is on it.
Do I do this from the shell?
I have some experience with DOS and I understand I can get a DOS emulator by
doing the following:
apt-get install dosemu-freedos
apt-get install dosemu
Is there a way to download the emulator files ahead of time instead of
trying to get online with linux?
Where would I go to download them?
Thanks for your help.
Lisa
