I suggest your 'answer' would be to go and have help installing there. BACKUP ANY IMPORTANT INFO to cdroms or other places beside the hard drive before tinkering with the hd. http://plug.phoenix.az.us/ The instructors of any class always want people to be 'on the same page' bookwise/os-wise. That is why they want you to use fedora (it is probably 'his' favorite flavor and he really doesn't know the others well enough to teach them correctly), which is downloadable from the internet. Besides, debian based Knoppix uses 'different' flavors of packages with different procedures and names for the packages (in many instances) than red hat based Fedora does. They both will do the job, but trying to figure out which 'Name' to use to do the job could end up being harder than the class isself!!! That is it in a nutshell. Cyclists should expect and demand safe accommodation on our public roads, just as does every other user. Nothing more is expected. Nothing less is acceptable! Long live Knoppix!! __________________________________ Yahoo!
