Hello List: I have finally got a working Red Hat 9 installation up and running and having problems in determining a couple of things. 1. Disk Druid: I had a grate deal of trouble creating a swap partition. In the end, I reinstalled using the defaults. A nice partition list would be helpful. 2. the list of services I have running: don't know command, 3. man -man: This command results in "what man page do you want?" instead of displaying the man pages. 4. Starting and configuring a basic FTP server: I'm lost on how to begin. I hope you folks have lots of patience, <GRIN> I'm going to need a lot of help as I'm just beginning my Linux adventure. Nice to be back on list: Michael
