I am installing Monkey Linux, the machine I am installing on a intel 486, 20megs ram, 400 mb hardrive,.....my problem is i booted with a win 98se disc, and when I try to extract the floppies to a directory I made D:\LINUX, it gives me a bad file or command message.....the install instructions said extract to LINUX directory: Installation: Make a directory called LINUX in the root directory. Whole Linux operating system will be placed into this directory. Extract all files mlinuxNN.a?? to this directory (NN is a version): arj x -v -y mlinuxNN C:\LINUX Enter to the directory LINUX. If you install to another drive than C:, please check LINUX.BAT. Type LINUX.BAT, cross you fingers.... ... Uninstallation: Simply remove directory C:\LINUX (ie: DELTREE /y C:\LINUX) I being a windows user, am a little mixed up or don't understand what the ARJ x -v -y mlinuxNN is. It this the extract command or where can I find commands under linux.. Sorry to be so new at this but I am a little confused.....any help would be appreciated.... Thanks in advance BN

arj is a DOS archiver, like pkzip. the x -v -y are just command line switches. You can download arj archiver and find out from its comprehensive help, if you track it down using Google or something. I don't think there's an arj for Linux - Linux tends to use gunzip/bunzip and tar.

Brent, Assuming your installing from a floppy (A:\ drive) you'll issue this command to install Monkey Linux: arj x -v -y A:\mlinux06 D:\LINUX Since you're placing Monkey on your D:\ drive you'll have to edit D:\linux\linux.bat. Specifically, the ROOT= part of the line loadlin 3mide.030 root=/dev/hda1 rw Monkey Linux will not boot until you input the correct partition that you're installing it on.
