How do I get this to work? I have no clue at this point....please help!!!!

This response is not just to bob58, but to all people new to this forum. This is one of the most frequently asked (and answered ) questions in this forum. Please do a little searching before jumping in with basic questions like this. We are glad to help but there are a LOT of new users to Linux (or at least to Knoppix) in these forums. It's hard to keep support up to a high level if the basics need to be repeated over and over. The answer to this question and many others are found in the Docs section of this forum. If you cannot find the answer to your question in the Docs section, or by using the search function of this site, then ask away. We will be glad to try and help.
