[plug] [plu] Linux books/manuals: recommendations?

[Ari Finander]

Well folks, our internet account has just been hacked AGAIN despite no 
Trojans or viruses being found on either of our computers after checking 
with nearly every product out there.  Getting a linux network up and running 
has now become a bit more pressing as these repeated hacks while using 
windows95 are getting very frustrating.  So, what manuals/books/guides to 
using and configuring linux would you all recommend?  I can only get one.

The directory name you choose to put the CDROM copy into is simply your
choice. Doesn't matter. Just make a new directory to make it easier to
delete when you've fininshed. Then deltree c:\whatever_name_you_decided. So
long as you know how .bat files work, and it isn't very hard, you are in
business. Open it in notebook, look at how it references the CD drive in the
script, and change it to c:.

I have never seen your system Daniel. So when I say "assuming your CDROM is
drive e:" - just gives you the commands, if yours is not e:, you change it
to whatever yours happens to be. If you have a CDRW as e:, and a CDROM as
f:, you choose which it is you're going to use, and then insert the the
required drive letter. You could use EITHER drive as the source for the
installation.

If you can't see either of the CD drives in DOS, I'd guess that is your
problem. Look up the Ricoh site for a SCSI DOS driver (or whoever made the
SCSI interface).

This isn't some game to try to prove me wrong.. I have been PATIENTLY trying
to help you.

  32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an
  8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor,
  written by a 2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
