Thanks for all the suggestions! I really am trying to learn the basics of Linux, a few weeks ago bought Peter Norton's _Complete Guide to Linux_, but am finding it not too helpful at this point. (The book was on sale, remaindered, I guess not a big seller!) Karsten, I will check out the books that you recommended. I really do need more instruction!
I installed both Linux 2.1 (kernel 2.1.121 shows up in a message at startup time) and Netscape 4.75 from CDs. (I copied the .tar file for Netscape from the CD) I installed Netscape because I had problems with the Mozilla that came on the Debian CDs. I was able to connect to my ISP, then start Mozilla, but the one thing that I couldn't do in Mozilla was go to a website by typing in the URL then hitting enter. Nothing happened when I hit enter. I was only able to go to links that were already on the homepage that came up when I started Mozilla, and then of course follow links from there. At this point I am still using Windows 95. (I have a dual-boot with LILO.) I would love to get away from Windows 95. Karsten, I tried the $ echo $PATH command and it listed five paths, none of which contained the netscape executable. When I switched to /usr/local/netscape and typed: ./netscape or /usr/local/netscape/netscape I got the following: error in loading shared libraries libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory Is this because Netscape 4.75 has problems? If I buy a new set of Debian CDs (from Cheapbytes, where I bought the last set), would it come with a working browser? I do appreciate all the help that this mailing list provides! Peter Christensen
