Type those in a terminal (case and spacing matters) and post their output here.

You might want to use code tags (click here for explanation) to post them in the forum.

files?

What do you mean?

You're still using Linpus?
That's a stripped down version of Fedora 8
I'd recommend you install something like Ubuntu. Especially since, as you said, you're a novice.

You go to the homepage from ubuntu,
Then you click the download button.
Burn the ISO to CD.

Also, can you try to use capital letters and use better grammar if it's not to hard? Your posts are a bit difficult to understand.

He meant that you have to type those commands ONE by ONE and post the "output" here.
e.g.

Code:

bash-4.1# ifconfig -a

          inet addr:192.168.1.4  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          RX bytes:2400 (2.3 KiB)  TX bytes:2400 (2.3 KiB)

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:21:00:0a:91:14  
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

bash-4.1#

The command's name is ifconfig -a, and rest following is its output.
You have to paste the "complete" output here whatever it is.
If you get an error like "command not found", run the command again after logging in root.
