Without looking for it because I took some stuff off my drive, it is probably part of the kernel header files. Get this package and read the docs and install it and if needed, make the necessary links in /usr/lib.

You can get Linux distributions for around $2 each from cheapbtyes.com and lsl.com. Get all three major distributions and then try them all and decide for yourself which one you like best. The three major distributions are Slackware, RedHat and Debian. These sites also have some good package deals with printed documentation and CDs with mirrors of popular Linux sites.

You write a config file called something like /etc/smb.conf. In this file you define which directories and/or printers you want to share, and which file mode the files created in this resource should have, and so on. It's not very difficult, once you get a hang of hit. 'man smb.conf' tells you a lot. * Origin: www.kernel.org (2:206/145.1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 241 LINUX Ref: F1W00021 Date: 01/25/98 From: PER LUNDBERG Time: 09:57pm \/To: HANS TEGNERUD (Read 4 times) Subj: irc-newbie HT> I've just gotten the feeling that you could get kicked or even banned HT> for that, if the Op's are having a bad day, in some channels..

The first sector of a floppy is called the boot sector. When you just throw something into /dev/fd0, it will be written to the floppy, starting with the boot sector. HT> Is this something specific to Linux? No, boot sectors are the same regardless of your choice of operating system. * Origin: www.gnu.org (2:206/145.1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 241 LINUX Ref: F1W00023 Date: 01/26/98 From: JENS ALMGREN LARSEN Time: 07:11pm \/To: PER LUNDBERG (Read 4 times) Subj: Linux JAL>> Ibland blir man arg p Linux, tex nr inte ljudet funkar JAL>> efter 2 kompilleringar.
