Ok, here is the story about as much of this as I can handle at a time.
First of all, using yasr is not the best way to find something particularly when you want to see just exactly how it is spelled so that you can remove it. Reboot the Oralux disk and use emacspeak instead of yasr. This will solve the problem of navigating through the list in a very simple fashion. Now, once you are in emacspeak, enter control-x followed by the k key to remove the buffer you are currently in, one that describes the basic operation of emacspeak and Oralux. Now, you are in the scratch buffer of emacs with emacspeak running. Now you will enter alt-x and you will hear the system say command. When you hear this, enter the word shell and you will be in the shell. Now, you need to find the offending file. Just enter su and you will be root. I have never used dos nor windows a day in my life, so I don't know a thing about a, b, and c drives. The file from the virus should be on the hard drive so do this. mount /dev/hda1 This will mount the hard drive and you will be ready to trace down the file you are looking for. Now, you can enter the word dired and you will be prompted for the directory where the file in question is. If I could see what you got back from your listing, I could more easily help you, but suffice it to say that, if you know where the file is, that is, in what directory, just enter that and dired will give you a list through which you can move with the up and down arrows to listen for the name of the file you wish to delete. When you find the offending file, just press the d key to mark the file for deletion. Just be careful, though, this really doesn't get rid of the file. Find all the files you want to remove and check off all of them with the letter d and enter an x when you are finished. This will get rid of the file or files, but, to see the results of your handy-work, press the g in order to update the display you will hear with your speech. Now, the virus file should be gone and the computer can be used as normal. There are no a, b, nor c drives in Linux. The primary hard drive, the one that the machine boots from is called /dev/hda and any others follow with 2, 3, 4, and so on. The second digit, for example, the 1 in /dev/hda1 indicates the first partition of the disk and this follows true to form like the numbers of the drives. However, each one of these is a partition, for example, /dev/hdc3 is the third partition on the third hard drive and so on. When you want to mount these partitions and drives, it is best to be root unless you change a file which is put on the hard drive when you install the system. Now, there is no way to install anything, for example, apt-get install freedos if you are running your Oralux cd. Nothing can be changed in the virtual directory structure created in memory. You will need to install your Oralux on a hard drive for this. However, the principle of the matter is exactly right. This would be what you would do. I and the rest of the Oralux development team would like to welcome you to the world of Linux and to the world of Oralux. We hope that you have good results and a good experience with our product. Hope this helps. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C.
