[Gslug-general] Linux Education

[Michael_Faraday]

Travis,

When I'm stuck with a non-Linux box I download a Mandriva, Ubuntu, or Puppy Linux live-boot file.  Then I burn it to CD-ROM.  By booting from the CD-ROM I can try a lot of Linux methods without adding or deleting anything from the hard drive.

Regards,

Steven

Thanks for the offer.  I read this list in Windows so it is kind of 
difficult to try stuff and then report to the list.  I don't remember what
I 
tried other than make sure BT was installed and that the mouse was in 
discovery mode.  It workrd out of the box with Windows.
