Re: Newbie Having Much Trouble Getting Deb 2.4.18-bf2.4 To Work
Hey, Thanks for the reference. I'm lurking the group emails and have read
some manuals on board. Problem is some are too geeky for me to understand
although I've picked up a lot since installing linux about 2 months ago. I
have set outlook express to all text mode as a result of using another
discussion group for modem drivers. Since my problems includes a
malfunctioning Mozilla mail client, I copy anything I want to email to my
zip drive and paste it into OE, maybe that's how it got coded. I'm getting
that cookbook hoping its more user friendly.
