Installing Linux

[Griselda]

Yea k here is what I did since last post...

I was in Knoppix right, and I brought up the Konsole thing and typed 'su -' then I typed 'knx2hd' which it said was the correct way to install it. It was looking good and I clicked a few buttons but right before it seemed like it was going to install it said I did not have permission to format the drive. I was in root, maybe something needs to be done in windows?

What you will need, if you are going to run Linux, is the ability to puzzle things out for yourself when you're not sure what to do. I don't run Linux, but I had a FreeBSD box for long enough to realize that it wasn't something I was going to be able to use without either spending a lot of time figuring things out, or constantly bugging my friends for help. Neither sounded particularly feasible at the moment, so at the moment Windows is a more realistic choice for me.

If you want to run Linux, and are already stuck at that point in the process, it may be time to rethink that decision. Is it something that you're going to be able to work through on your own, most of the time?
