And in my own stupidity, I did not change the subject. Sorry. -----Original Message----- From: Carter, Shaun G [mailto:shaun.carter@eds.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 7:17 AM To: 'psyche-list@redhat.com' Subject: RE: NEWBY-HELP! First, post to the list in plain text, please. Next you may want to download/burn the RH8 ISO's from a mirror site like ftp://redhat.newaol.com/redhat/linux/8.0/en/iso/i386/ At least then you'll know you have good media. Who knows what the "dummies" shipped. A good series of books to really look at are the O'Reilly books (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/prdindex.html). "Running linux" and "linux in a nutshell" are great books, and quite easy to understand. Last but certainly not least, when you post a question, use a short summary of the problem in the subject instead of something like NEWBY-HELP!. Most times I'll just delete these instead of reading the email to find out what the problem is. Post something like "Problems with install from RH8 for Dummies CD's" or something more specific. One last thing. Check out the LUG (Linux User Groups) in your area. There are most likely quite a few people in your area that have their own mailing list and can help you out. You can start a search here. http://www.ssc.com:8080/glue/groups/ Shaun -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
