I have a couple more to ask. I have four slackware cds. I'm not sure which to put in first and what to type at the various prompts. I have windows on my computer, but I boot up in a dos box. I need to be able to switch back and forth from linux to dos easily. How can this be done? Do I need to be more concerned about dos or windows? When I type ver at the c:\> prompt, it says I'm running windows 95b. but I don't use windows at all because I don't have a windows screen reader. Does this make sense to anybody? I also want to know what is lilo and what is ramdisk. ***** ************************************************** "Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.
