Re: [LUG] lurking and learning

[Tom Laithwaite <tomlai at eclipse.co.uk>]

thanks, for all that!!. i'm off to the computer bookstore in Exeter to
find some of those. I'll have a look at the Bookshelf CD it sounds good,
and i can also print stuff out.  

I found a prog called Caitoo on Freshmeat which more or less covers the
d/l manager (It was on one of the 6 suse cds when i bothered to look!) I
use go!zilla in win all the time cos the one in Opera/Ie etc tends to go
miles slower.

glibc, and inetd are really what i meant by 'vital' you don't have a zip
prog in win you can't d/l practicaly anything. 

oh and there is no way i'm changing distro's! Suse was not easy to
install and its meant to be a 'beginners' package. I had to use Yast1 in
the end cos Yast2 hardly gave me a choice what to install. 

i've had a go at compiling the sources to programs, using configure,
make, but usually come up againist errors, and have to search through
the suse package list trying to find a certain file. 

Thanks again for all your help....I will be back, probably after getting
stuck on the first paragraph of whichevwer book I end up going for.
