You really should post to Debian-user with questions like this. I am sorry I
don't have time to answer questions such as this most of the time. I took the
liberty of forwarding your message to the list.
Igor.

I am not writting because I want to write a FAQ. I am writting to you
because I can't find anyone else to write to! Please, you have to help
me!!!
I bought 4 CD's of Debian from CheapBytes. I installed the CD's
everything was very confusing but I somehow managed to install Debian
and get it working with Windows 95 on the same computer. I have a
Pentium 150 with 32 Mb ram and a 1 Gb hard drive. I have a PnP Modem
(33.6Kpbs) and a PnP sound card (AWE64 Gold). Now, I tried my level best
to learn a few commands of Linux. But I think it is simply impossible. I
have downloaded the Debian Manual. I am still searching for a way to
access my drives. I don't even know how to copy files in this Operating
System. It seems that this operating system is very cAsE-SeNsEtIvE! I
read many FAQ's but all the FAQ's tell you is that Linus Para... made
Linux with a bunch of Hackers! Then it tells you how good Linux is and
how bad windows 95 is. But I haven't come across a single Help file or a
FAQ that actually tells you how to use this Operating System.
Please send me some info on the basic commands and on how I can connect
to internet using Linux. I know there is a isapnp utility and it is
supposed to configure my PnP Hardware using the isapnp.conf file (which
is a dump from the isapnpdump file). Anyhow, the problem is the diald or
the pppd. I don't know. What to do. I am at a stage at which I am
pulling out my hair in frustation. Please Help Me.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any Help Will Be Highly Appreciated
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
--------- Thank You----------
