The certification is in Windows, I am just getting into Linux. "pass myself" is not a misnomer. I have had several years training in Windows and hardware I am just reaching out to Linux and run it on both of my computers in dual boot and this person did not want to buy another OS and the 98SE was needing to be reinstalled, (beyond even the "restore" for 98,) and Linux was all I had. I do not appreciate what you implied by your comments and it should not have been uttered. You must remember that 99% of training is in Windows and when someone is reaching out to something new you don't cut their hand off. I would bet that you cause more problems in trying to teach then you solve. A good teacher never implies what you just did. David A Parker wrote:

I recently installed SUSE 10.0 on a Compaq PII and the client asked me to install a second HDD. I deleted the partitions that had 98SE on them using partition logic, I used this on both drives but did not format either drive. I then installed SUSE n the master and I never got the option to mount or format the second 3GB HDD. SUSE is now up and running and it sees the second drive but when I click on it I get the error that the drive is not mounted. I think since it was not formatted it can't see it. Where do I go from here to get SUSE to save to that drive????
Any OS needs to format the partition first -before- you can use it. You can use the command df to show what it mounted and space used/available.
Second issuse same computer. I downloaded audacity and it came in two packages. When I try to install either one (rpm's) i get the error that it needs the other one. How on earth do I get theis installed???
rpm -i *.rpm to have rpm work with both at the same time.
Thanks a heap

If you are going to pass yourself of as a "Certified Computer Specialist" I think you need a little more training in linux first. The two above items are actually pretty much basic items to know. :-)
In rare cases (mainly on older Red Hat installations), I have had rpm still refuse to install multiple packages that require each other using "rpm -i *.rpm". In this case, "rpm -i --nodeps *.rpm" solves the problem.
"Certified Computer Specialist"... Certified in what? Certified by whom? That's a pretty vague title. :-)
