gutted m8, i had no probs installing MDK8 on my pc with dual boot, ive done it over 20 times (i only have 10gb so i dont keep it on for long)

the net is abit of a pain, i have to do it in terminal mode and type in the stuff each time  as if in telnet, i cant figure out how to do script based and PPP just dont work with anything!

also i cannot use my CDROM drive in it...i have no idea why and no-one seems to be able to figure it out which is the 2nd reason why i dont keep it on for long

once i get a nice new 40gb+ HDD ill have a better attempt

some linux commands;

ls  - list (like DOS dir)
man - for the manuel, like DOS help, takes some getting used to

try www.linuxnewbie.com ( i think)

and www.mandrake-campus.com (i think)

bot are helpful, good luck ;D
