It is amazing how many replies your request for help drew without any
solutions at all.
No one suggested any other reading material or web sites that would provide
any help.
All I managed to get out of their remarks is that they all have their nose
so far jammed up Linux OS ass that they can't see that some others may not
be able to figure out the details of installing the OS,
Yes it is different from Windows but it also very hard to install, in some
cases, and Windows users are not aware of all of the Linux complexities just
to install.
If all of the "mouths" that replied uttered something useful then we might
be a little closer to giving M$ so competition.
If they can't help they would do well to keep their mouths shut.
If I knew the answers to your questions I would gladly supply them but I am
a Linux newbie also.
