[-- Attachment #1 --] I guess, since I can't ask questions hear (pun), I can simply state that I am beginning to feel extreme discouragement. I keep hearing how wonderful this system is, but the most Ive been abel to do is generate a list of the /usr directory. My mouse won't configure, X won't configure, Heck! I can't even figure out how to load a simple word processor. Uuumph! I've spent hours reading. I've spent hours on the net. I've loaded this OS several times (which has been a learning experinece - I can now create partitions in my slice). So far, the best I can achieve is a barren screen similar to the ominous cursor that greeted my when I first loaded DOS 5.0. I certainly hope that all this effort is going to be fruitful - I can think of several people that would tell me I'm absolutely insane for trying to learn this OS. ShawnGet more from the Web.
