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.

I just installed Mandrake 9.1. Now I'm trying to install the drivers from the root terminal, but when I execute the .RUN file, an error message appears: "ERROR: Unable to find the system utility '1d'; please make sure you have the package 'binutils' installed. If you do have binutils installed, then please check that '1d' is in your path." How do I fix this?
Thats 'ld', not '1d', from a console or terminal emulator do "whereis ld", if it's not there then you should install the binutils rpm from your mandrake cd.
You are doing this as root, not as a user?
Thanks, Aussie. That's what I needed to do. Now, I can't save my XFree86 file with KWrite because I don't have permission to. Do you know how to set permissions?
