I just started fiddling with GRML, It works great as a live CD, I wonder if
there is any way of installing it to a hard drive?
Cheers,

Subject: a beginner to linux
Could anyone possibly help me getting started with Linux, pointers which
might help me get going?
I have been trying to use Ubuntu with Gnopernicus but have been having
problems getting it going after login?
A chap from one of the LUGs (Linux User Groups I attend managed to vaguely
get Gnopernicus running on my Laptop with Ubuntu but it is configuring it
for speech during Login which seems to be a problem at the moment.
I haven't posted to this group for a while as someone upset me when I
enquired about trying to trace my LUG saying that everyone would be upset
that I posted such a question on this group yet a LUG is a group for
supporting people wishing to learn about Linux so he was the only one
griping about it. Not everyone has a sighted person nearby to turn to
like a partner and my family not only live a few miles away but are also
less computer savvy than me.
If I had the choice I would have a partner which as regards getting
started with Linux would make my job as a newby easier only the people
running the age range I fit into, I am 28 by the way, have been very heavy
both verbally and physically as regards me seeing someone, some might call
it peer pressure but I think bullying is more an apt term. Whatever the
harrassment myself and my potential partners is called it turned one of my
potential partners into a Heroin addict in one case and her parents took
sides with her dealers because the eldest sister who has a family of her
own who claimed to have supported me through her sister who is nearer to
her in age who ended up on the Heroin after telling me I would be the
first person she would consider as a boyfriend told me her youngest sister
who I could have dated instead was told by their parents to disconnect the
phone on me in order to create a fake fault on the line despite the claim
that their whole family was backing me over the bullying I was getting at
Blind Schools and Colleges including by at least one person who got a job
working for the BBC despite his reputation at supposedly the best Blind
School in England where staff in senior management knew of his extreme
views some of which were even racist and he even had a hold over this girl
who went along with this stuff despite his racial abuse although someone I
spoke to since admitted this person had control and said the girls at this
School were not indipendent and very easily lead and this person was a
younger male student which was a change because men about my age have
generally refused to accept the fact that men can be victims of bullies
and not just the perpotrators. The person who had a go at me knows nothing
about my life which has made me not even rule out the possibility of
police involvement to stop the harrassment which has caused me to so far
live a single life instead of enjoying going out with ladies who I could
have been close to, something enjoyed by most men my age.
