OK, What Now? My problem is I am old and don't remember like I used to. I have downloaded the iso & checked & burned the above cd and have booted it several times to my XP box, but have not yet installed it on the 40gb hard drive(non sata). I am new to Linux and Ubuntu. I'm an ex Windows only user, but used to be ok using dos5.0 & 6.1, some 17 years ago. Then win 3.1 and on up... I have read and read but when I boot up from cd I don't know if I should open a terminal or a kde, so I just open the Konquor browswer and browse the forms for info & tutorials Question 1, How to find & open a doc or wordpad so I can copy n paste what I have done and learned and to be able to post the replies of your suggested commands(as I see this requested in most forums). and how do I label and file the doc. Will it have an extension .doc .txt - so I can find it? Question 2, I read so much on the "password" I am confused and crosseyed. I just hit enter without entering anything in the box, but I suspect that will change once I have installed it. I know about not being a root user and to use the su or sudo command. Why is there a spaces in the commands. ls /users What is srv0 ? What is Initramfs I get it when I boot up. Thanks, CaptSkip (you can post in newbie forum, please send link).

As far as I can tell, this new forum is just trying to be a 100% ontopic "help with ubuntu" forum. I don't see why we couldn't put this energy to better use on ubuntuforums.org That tips & tricks forum has been pruned quite heavily recently to help keep it up to date, and i wouldn't say it is too bloated. If you think something should be done about a thread then just report it and say what. Not just like that one, but like the entire ubuntuforums.org site.

I like the idea of a forum targeting talks related to tutorials on this site and maybe requests for future tutorials. ubuntuforums.org is bloated.
