Hi

I'm a noob at linux. i dont know what can i dow ith linux anyway. (anyway, i wanted to try many stuffs on linux, but all my time installing it through VMware failed.) However, i discovered another interest, airsnort, i wish to power my linux cdrom (freedom linux), then start sniffing for packets.

how can i do that? their site claim that airsnort is installed on this 'linux cdrom'.

2) the command is this:

Code:

[user@domain user]$ lynx

3) from this error:

i think you'll need X running to run this airsnort program
