Re: [newbie] HOW TO START LINUX

2001-02-23 Thread Harold Fulkerson 

I'm a 60 year old, 20 year computer user with 10 on windows. I tried lnx4win
and it ran SO slow i done a full install of Mandrake 7.2 behind win98. I'm a
complete newbie and had no problems once i got my drive partitioned. The
basics of 7.2 are as easy as windows.

 Well since I know next to nothing about Linux, I thought this was the best
 thing to start with.

  why do u load LINUX4WIN in the first place? Go for a standard Linux
  Distrubution such as Redhat or Mandrake and get the LILO do everything
for
  you. I also have a machine which has win98,NT and LRH6.2 working without
a
  hitch!!!

[newbie] Install

2001-02-19 Thread Harold Fulkerson 

I have a 366mghz, 96mg ram, 20 gb hd with win 98 and 1 partition. The
install gets to the point of partitioning the free space  and locks. This is
a new drive, new win98 install. Trying to install LM 7.2. Any suggestions?

[newbie] install

Thanks for thw quick reply Evan. By lock i mean you can't switch between the
OK button and CANCEL button.The mouse moves but that is all. f12 will
advance to the next screen but all it  will do is cancel.
