Re: [newbie] Converting to Linux.

Of course Linux is for you.ICQ works, MP3's work, even have napster for Linux. :) The game situation is getting better but its not up to snuff with Win98, you could always dual boot linux and Win98 until you see the power of Linux and then you will probably just use linux. :D You can Play UT,

Re: [newbie] Openint tar files

I must point out that a .tar.gz file is "gunzipped" and the "z" option must be included in the command, hence tar -xvzf foo.tar If the file has already been un commpessed then the correct syntax is tar -xvf foo.tar. sean --- jpgois <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > kwf wrote : > > I downloaded a file

Re: [newbie] Openint tar files

You mean you "gunzipped" it? Try "tar -xvf foo.tar" where foo is the name of the file if it is the install process that you are having troulble with then look in the new directory that was created by the "tar -xvf foo.tar" command and look for a README on the install. Sean --- kwf <[EMAIL PROTEC

Re: [newbie] IP Masq and DNS

That is set in /etc/resolv.conf and rechecked /etc/hosts. The Internal network uses the same DNS nameservers as the linux box and the defualt gateway for the Internal boxes is IP of eth1 which is 192.168.1.1, the internal network is 192.168.1.x, so I don't know why DNS is not working. sean --- D

Re: [newbie] StarOffice Installation

You are right on track, just "tar -xvzf so51a_lnxfoo.foo.tar" then cd to the directory it creates and, I forgot, but the documentation is good and the install is painless, does it all for you. Best of luck. Here's this.. same as I was saying, including the part I forgot ;) http://www.linuxnewbie.o
