Yes, I agree Jim, having Linux meetings "over dinner" is hardly cheap and I
would doubt its value. I wouldn't bother going myself. I like my meetings
with a $2 doorcharge and the option to get your broken PC fixed
up! There's the value.

First you just login to some form of command shell. If you have a
machine that starts into a graphical desktop, you need to call up a
"shell".
Then you type:

Type su which stands for switch user. With no parameter it switches you

Hi Vik,
I thought a batch job, by definition, was automated, so didn't require
any input from the user.

I don't know for sure because I don't know what Partition Magic does, but
it sounds like the drive has been "hidden". If you can boot from the first

Tricky. Old-style (serial) terminals were outright unable to send
