Introduction

[tarkaan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Greetings,

I'm new to this list (and to linux), so I thought I'd introduce myself, I
hope that's okay with everyone.

Name: Brian Ream
AKA: Jack Tarkaan
WEB: http://www.bigfoot.com/~tarkaan
MAILTO: tarkaan@yakko.cs.wmich.edu, or tarkaan@bigfoot.com
System: Packard Bell 410-ish, c.1995?
	540 Meg Conner
	12 Meg Ram
	Crappy video/etc
	Creative Labs 4x
	Running RedHat 5.2

Current Projects:
	PPP connection via my 9600 serial modem
	Entirely Term-Based Web, E-mail, and ICQ
	Term Based word processing (my printer works!)
	MOST IMPORTANTLY - Getting it to boot from the HD
		(This requires my lilo.conf to be correct..somethign
		that I haven't been able to do, and I'm now in my 24th
		continuous hour of trying.  It hangs at "L" - any fixes?)

ANyway, I"m looking forward to the meetings that you people have..this OS
has by far the steepest learning curve of anything else I've ever tried
(including forcing a lateral paper jam sensor into the housing of its
counterpart hidden under the fuser cover of my Brother HL-10v - see
http://www.bigfoot.com/~tarkaan/hl-10v.html for details)

Thanks for reading..and thanks in advance for any newbie advice :)
