Have you tryied looking at the HOWTO dir? I mean, if you installed doc-linux-text package you have the HOWTO's in: /usr/doc/HOWTO/ So you can read some of them. Of special interest here is the: DOS-to-Linux-HOWTO.gz, which has a description aimed at we ex-dos users, and you can read it with: zless /usr/doc/HOWTO/DOS-to-Linux-HOWTO.gz zmore /usr/doc/HOWTO/DOS-to-Linux-HOWTO.gz HTH, Roberto Ruiz -- Proudly running Debian Linux!
