[aclug-L] Linux newbie manual

["Jeffrey L. Hansen" <jhansen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure how many others out there have had the nightmare I've had 
trying to get RedHat 5.1 (admittedly one of the easiest versions) going, 
but I found something I've been crying for since last summer.  I have 
little or no time for exhaustive searches through the readme's or to attend 
install sessions or to get involved in online help with any of those who 
have offered.  I think I was on slashdot, but honestly can't remember 
exactly, and got reference to this.  I emailed the guy and got this back 
right away.  I printed it out, followed the instructions exactly, and it 
worked first time.  It's not a perfect environment, but it's worlds better 
than what I had.  Now I just need to enter the TCP/IP address and, 
hopefully, will finally have a Linux box that works on the Net.
I've attached the file for anyone who's interested.  My open question is, 
could we possibly do this exact thing for Debian, Slackware, etc. to assist 
morons like me with the initial powerup until the environment is stable 
enough to fine tune?

Hi. Here's the Newbie's Linux Manual you requested. I hope you enjoy your

This manual is new, and as such, is still under development. It is being

Thanks to all who have endured my complaints.
