Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Thanks for the advice so far, but I'm still having some troubles...
my /etc/modules contains only "ide-cd" and "ide-detect"... this isn't where the problem is coming from.
I went into /etc/default and nano'd pcmcia so it doesn't start... that's a help. The 'fat' is still there, though...
I'm in the process of building a nice-n-trim kernel for this box now, but that's introduced its own set of problems... I used 'aptitude' to pull down 2.4.23 kernel sources and kernel-package. 'make menuconfig' 'd the deal to get a nice trim kernel, used make-kpgk buildpackage and installed it, but lilo.conf is complaining about /proc/partitions not matching /dev directory structure...
This is for another thread, I know, but just so you folks don't think I'm sitting with my thumbs up my you-know-how waiting for an easy answer!
I'm sure it will all come out fine in the end, just a little frustratin'!
