OK, I gave up entirely on the frugal installation. I came to realize something. I was waiting a lot of time trying to get something more than what I needed. Bottom line, I don't want to pit Linux vs. Windows. I simply want to learn linux as an alternative OS. Somthing I can use and learn for myself. I don't care about upgrading right now. I don't really care about installing aps right now. right now I just want to learn the basics and work my way up from there.
I guess I was being too ambitious at first. I chose to install DSL on the laptop using the HD install. It works, I'm not doing anything crazy with it that I need to save files or install applications.
right now, I am simply following a tutorial on linuxcommands.org .
Once I become familiar with that and comfortable, I will move on to the next level.
However, this thread (and your help (all of you)) is not in vein. I learned a lot just from this thread, the docs, my own investigation etc... and for that I am happy I tried the frugal install first.
I am running DSL on my old NEC laptop, I am running DSL Embedded on any windows machine I log into and I am running Puppy Linux as my travelling OS.
I have to say, I am glad computing has become fun and interesting to me once again.
Thanks All.....
