LOL Be aware though - command line is very much NOT dos. The ascii characters you type are about the only similarity! Dos is a toy within a limited OS. Linux command line is a shell in linux itself, you can do *anything* with it (at admin level that is, sudo etc ).nThe only times I screwed up my whole. system was when I was exploring as a new user, using cl and admin privileges. :-) The good news was that as a (then) windows user, I was perfectly happy to reinstall at a whim! btw you might like to consider replacing the usb modem with a modem-router, which is a lot easier to configure and also will offer much improved security over a usb modem. Some ISPs are now giving free adsl modem-routers, not usb, because they are becoming much cheaper. USB modems are mostly designed only for windows, and it can be hard work to use them in linux. -- ac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
