Once you get a working system back, if necessary by reinstalling as Stephen suggested, I suggest you look into virtualization software. Virtual installs are perfect for experimenting and learning without risk to the 'host' o/s (i.e. actual Linux install running on your machine). KVM is included in the Linux kernel and I believe is the preferred choice for Ubuntu. VirtualBox is popular and comes with a nice GUI for novices. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
