Debian LInux
I recently installed Debian Linux on my system and have a few questions about
the distribution.
When using dselect, do I have to download from the ftp site, packages or are
they on the install disks ?
The programs that I am interested in are the XFree86, Emacs and Latex
including software to access the net.
All I can seem to find while running Linux is the bash shell and ae . I can
not find any man pages.
I have looked for FAQ`s but have found none pertaining to the info that I
need.
Does the install contain a list of commands for Linux ?
While installing Debian 1.1 when it came to loading and configuring modules
to place in the kernal there where a few things I did not understand .
1. Under Fsystem/smbfs involved a Windows 95 Sharing . What is this ?
2. Under Vfat there was a driver ( I guess ) that you could install for
Windows 95 long file names under DOS. What is this ?
Any help regarding this subject matter would be greatly appreciated. I am a
new user in the Linux/UNIX environment and am rather excited about running
the OS.
