All things you should not do, that win does automatically, to these people this is normal. They have their mouse, their keyboard for minimal typing and they are off. But this is not Windows, they can click about, bounce off of a lot of things and do basic stuff. They are not computer noobs as such. Get them to install a Non-o/s disk supplied package Rpm Ect, has instruction cd to ????????? These people do not know how to open, or use a shell, many of them will not know what a shell is, R.T.F.M. Is not the answer, if you really want to convert the convertible in droves. They need that extra little bit at the beginning, that says do a,d,c with your mouse or d,e,f. This will open your shell (see t,a,k, in man g) at the flashing cursor type xyz/cde/ press enter (This will happen) then do ECT, ECT, The references for these commands are k/a/w/and v in The Man pages. It will not take them long, Ping a common exercise in windows or any other, heaps of bad instructions on How To. This one has the extra couple of lines. Next, open the command prompt (Click Start/then run/) and type “ping” followed by any one of the IP addresses from your list, and press enter (Don’t type the quote marks). For instance, from the example table, if I wanted to ping the office computer I would type, “ping 192.168.0.2” and press enter. A couple of books and a few reworked FAQ/RRA. With that little extra will go a long way.) some New Zealander was a long way from home looking for answers	drb1 (4492)
