I just need some simple advice

boostud
I just downloaded Mandake 9. 2 I am TOTALLY NEW to Linux. I have heard great things, so thought i'd give it a try. file:/usr/share/doc/HTML/index. html I am lost in so many ways. I can't figure out how to run half the programs I install, and no idea how to run the command prompt.

Mandrake 9.2 installation - booting but can't access cdrom

nu2linux
I get the message: I can't access a Mandrake Linux Installation disc in your CDROM drive (TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-1902B) The last time I used the disked about a month ago it installed just fine. What factors would keep it from installing this time? *Right now I have no OS installed.

Two Qustions: .ICEauthority and daemons

ViolentGreen
I have two questions. The first is more of an annoyance. Something is changing the ownership and permissions of my. ICEauthority file to root. This prevents me from logging into an X session. The second question is where do I specify what daemons run at startup? Thanks.

CompactFlash Reader

Maillion
I have a CompactFlash reader that my system seems to find, but it does not seem to be mounted. I suppose it would need to be in the fstab and/or the mtab. does anybody know how I can set it up, or at least determine if it is found by the system? I use Knoppix/Debian.
