Hello! well, i have fixed this problem. I run the fsck program manually from my linux prompt and it asked me two questions aand i answerred on them. after completing that I reboot the computer and then the linux box worked prefectly again. I have both windows 98 and linux on my machine so there must be very much reboots for me. I have planned to only use linux but I can't find programs for my needs. the things I need is a good english software speech synthesizer, and a program for playing daisy books. I would be grateful if you could help me to switch from windows to linux. also, is there a way to play my windows games in linux like shades of doom? oh, this was more than the subject line says. can you change it when answering to this? kristoffer -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: blinux-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blinux-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]För Luke Yelavich Skickat: den 27 juli 2003 09:49 Till: blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx Ämne: Re: a problem It also helps if you are using a journalling file system, like ext3, JFS, or ReiserFS.
