Found myself a spare 2GB HD, so I decided to install Linux. I jumped into the deep end of the pool and got myself Slackware. I sort of didn't want to use Mandrake since I'm familar with DOS. The installation was actually OK, accept for the part where it asks you a whole bunch of questions on what to install.

Then I managed to figue out how to dual boot, ripped the bootrecord, put it in C:\ and now the Win2000 boot menu can take me to Slackware Linux.

Now what? What should I do with it now? Can't access my CD-ROM and floppy 'cos they won't mount for some reason, I decided to go to a GUI to do that. I remember saying I wanted X and KDE. I typed in startx and it said Config file now found...

And in Linux, I went to view a ASCII file by typing "view filename", how to I quit that after viewing the file? I only found the Alt+F5 (or was it F6?) to work, which brings me back to a login screen.

Basically right now I have a working installation of Linux (i think it's working) but I'm not sure how to use it, going to a GUI might help if I know how.
