Thank you. > > Matt. Unfortunatly you have only downloaded the kernel and it even looks like your browser stuffed up the name on you. (You used Netscape right? ;-) ) For a full linux SYSTEM you should really buy a cd set they don't cost that much and sure beats sitting there and waiting for downloads. If you are either insane or are lucky enough to have a cable modem then point your browser to ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/ and roll some dice or something and pick a distribution that takes your fancy and follow the instructions in and readme files along the way. (But I really think you should by some CD's they are cheap if you look around) -- Fog Lamps, n.: Excessively (often obnoxiously) bright lamps mounted on the fronts of automobiles; used on dry, clear nights to indicate that the driver's brain is in a fog.
