At least please cut back on the line spacing =o)
Also, please don't post a pile of questions in an unrelated thread...particularly when the original issue has not been resolved.
2) It's all *basically* the same. A terminal, or x term, would be the interface used to access bash (or sh, ksh, ash, etc.), such as aterm or rxvt. These are technically virtual terminals (terminal emulators), but are commonly referred to as terms or xterms. You have access to the same commands as you would from the base system without the gui loaded on top.
Bash is the default shell in DSL and most other Linux distros. This is where the magic happens...commands are run, scripts are written, programs are connected to other programs...basically everything done in a typical Linux machine begins with logging into a bash shell. Bash can be replaced with one of several other shells and scripting languages, but i have no experience to explain that one.
The "root" shell is the same as any other, except that you are logged into it as root, which means you have the power to create and to destroy.
6) It sounds like you broke the CD. Check out the search feature for these forums...I personally can't help you with this problem, but it sounds like something that was been covered at least a few times already.
