Hi all I am Andrew and I am a newbie from Cornwall just taking time to say hello and to check outgoing mail is working. I have been a member of the mailling list for a while to try and get a feel of what i would be getting myself into if i did install linux. And this morning decided to take the plunge and downloaded and installed mandrake 9.1. Installation was straight forward with all hardware detected and configured, even the speedtouch adsl usb modem (just needed to download the microcode). the only problem that i have encountered post installation was the fact that the download version of mandrake doesn't come with java, but am very pleased with myself, being only a humble home user, having downloaded and installed it myself. and being a little carried away with my success i went and got shockwave flash player as well. Well to sum up I now have a working system with internet access, sitting back with a smug grin on my face drinking coffee. One small step for linux but a giant leap for me. If i do encounter problems don't worry you will be the first to hear *chuckle*. well bye for now Andrew -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
