unfortunately this presupposes a bit of linux understanding which i am hoping
to learn by installing and working on linux. :) it's a circular problem...
i need to know how to use it to fix it so i can learn how to use it, so
i can....
my knowledge so far does include opening a shell from the installer. and
i assume my redhat linux and linux for dummies books have info on mounting.
but would you mind spelling it out (mounting), and what i should look for
once i've mounted it? thanks.
