- Greetings, all.
- I've gotten Linux 0.97l1 installed on my hard drive, and it seems to
- work OK. Now my problem is, what do I do with it? :)
-
- I'd like to install the manual, Elvis and a comm program (minicom) but
- can't get them onto my Linux partition (hda2, root and user, 30 MB).
- The files are currently on my DOS partition. I've tried rawriting the
- files to floppies and using dd, and tried mounting the DOS partition
- and copying them directly, but nothing works.
-
- I've read the latest Linux FAQ but didn't see anything to help me. What
- I need, I guess, is step-by-step instructions of the "type-this-then-
- hit-enter" variety. Perhaps the Maintainer Of The FAQ could add
- something along these lines, so newbies can start using Linux right
- away.
