Greetings all, I live in independence M.O, my address is 1408 N. osage Trl. Im right off 24hwy and kentucky. Is there anyone in the area that might be interested in helping me out with my linux problems? I dont want to sound needy but I am! I finally was able to make the first iso for mandrake 8.2, I installed it but it only boots into runlevel 3 after failing to load into runlevel 5. I dont know what im missing, I dont have the other two discs and it would be close to impossible for me to get them (im on dialup and it sucks)besides that I could use a real person to give me some hints, tips, tricks, shortcuts. I have books and How To's out the wazoo's, what I need is a selfless individual dedicated to linux that would not mind spending a few hours helping a hopeless case like myself. I know Im asking a lot, If I had a best friend that I could bother I would but all my friends use windows and hate linux or are afraid of change. I could use a linux buddy :) Im more than willing to do what ever you tell me too as long as Im not spending money because I have none(broke) :( hence the dialup. Im begging now, so it seems, I just really need some help here. If nobody wants to take this mission, I understand. It's dangerous, chances of survival are slim, I will test your patience and then some, you might even consider having me taken out bdfore it's over. Thanks for listening to my whine Aldis A Tuck __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes.yahoo.com/
