I did very well I must say for a new user to linux. I got debian
installed to the point i am sitting there with a command prompt.
But i am now lost. Where is Gnome or how do I start up into it?
When I run startx it says something is broken?
I need to dual boot Windows 95 sadly with Lilo and it says
permission denied when i try to access lilo.conf.
Can anyone send me a good help site for these problems or any other
assistance would be much appreciated because I really want to try out
Debian but I might have to go with Progeny to start out it appears.
In supplement to the answers you've already gotyou may want to read a book
about Linux, since it is really very differnt to Windows (especially Win9x/Me)
I can recommend "Running Linux" by Matt Welch et al. from O'Reilly.
it's a very good book, that'll explain the principals of Linux.
