Hello, my name is Marcos, form Argentina. I´m a complety newbie in Linux, but with the help of DSL I can see that Linux is much much better than Windows: faster, secure, easy (in some way).
My pourpose (sorry about my English) in writing this is to help some newbies that are using Windows and don´t know if they can install DSLinux on their machines (or believe that something can harm his system).
Case 1º: PC with one hard Disk and one partition runing Windows me/xp (both)
I recomend to install DSLinux in this way:
1º Download Partition Magic 7 from some way (k.....)
2º Make a Linux Partition on your hard Disk
3º reboot, wait a lot, ok.
4º Put DSLinux CD and follow the instructions of the autor
5º I must type sudo -u root dsl-install /dev/hda5
6º sudo -u root mkliloboot /dev/hda5
This must be ok for this kind of situation.
/dev/hda5 is the 1º logical partition on the 1º HD on the 1º IDE, it is the most common situation I think... well, goo luck.
pd: I have download audacity and work OK, I´ve download another programs but they doesn´t work because DSL have not a C compiler on $path ¿Someone can help me? TCC is a compiler, but I can´t fin him!
