As I am new to all this, where do I go to see and amend the script as

Would running XP create additional diffculties?<br>
When the GUI appears how do I run the command line? <br>

I want to set up the driver for my belkin wireless on the pc, I have
located a driver wrapper on the internet to enable me to convert the

do not have the means of typing the commands to point to the directory
where the driver is. Please help<br><br>

Dear Kevin <br><br>
Sorry to trouble you again. <br>
I was in WH Smith and found the LINUX user magazine with a full install Fedora3 - which is a bit of luck <br><br>
Went through the install with no problem except now when I boot the machine Windows XP - the resident OS on my computer starts. <br><br>
What have I done wrong here. During the install it went though a boot loader install which I assume was the basis for allowing me to select which OS <br><br>
Whilst in XP my D drive is not accessible which confirms that LINIUX has taken that offer and has formatted it accordingly <br><br>
Any thoughts or should I do a Fedora re-install and perhaps you should let me know what option to take to enable me to make it a dual boot machine <br><br>
Sorry about this but I was close but yet so far!!! <br><br>
Regards <br><br>
Mike <br><br>
