<div id="mb_0">greetings from upper alabama, i switched from windows 2000 to ubuntu 6.06.1 lts yesterday. i like the feel, but i've got a few of questions. 1. when i ran the live cd i received the message "unable to locate rsdp". the os seemed to function ok; i really can't say properly, because i don't know what properly is at this time. 2. during start up with the lice cd i also received the message mount: function not implemented. the cd i imaged verified, but after install on the hdd i still get the 2 messages. 3. i have another hdd installed where i will keep data. i formatted it to extended 3. the drive will not mount. i get the following error messages: error: device /dev/hdb1 is not removable error: could not execute pmount 4. how do i allow myself full access to the computer to make changes, add and delete, move files, copy from one place to another and etc.? this is a tad bit frustrating, but i welcome the linux plunge. 5. is there an open source pdf editor akin to acrobat (full version) and nitro pdf? i need more than a viewer. finally, i have many more questions. would someone be so kind as to point me to online references and book suggestions as i begin a new computer chapter with linux? cheers, dwain </div>
