As I am new to all this, where do I go to see and amend the script as shown 
below in terms of dual booting
Would running XP create additional diffculties?
When the GUI appears how do I run the command line?
I installed it with myself as the administrator and yet it does not allow 
me to move things around, create directories etc?
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 window 
driver to linux. The problem is I am unable to tar the driver as I do not 
have the means of typing the commands to point to the directory where the 
driver is. Please help
