HD Install :: HD install...

if anyone has aim and will help me out with anythign my screen name is RTiSmOk3R...thanx

How much space can it take up with a non-frugal install? I've got an old Win95 computer I'm going to change to a DSL machine.. so just wondering.

Ok, I now know how to load up into RAM.
You simply type "dsl toram" at the bootscreen and that's it! And to install it to HD: "dsl tohda" or something...
Just type F2 at the bootscreen for help.

But now I have another problem! I don't know where to view my folders, especially my HD!
I type "fdisk -l" in the terminal and then I get errormessage: "Can't open hda1"!

does this work anything liek windows or better? am i guna be totally confused trying to use dsl if im liek not a computer geek? i know enough to work windows but all i read from these forums r things that make me feel dumb...and i dont understand how to make my own cd with linux y does it have to be so hard:(

It works better than windows, infact windows is so far out of the league they don't even count!

You say you know enough to use windows, How long did it take you to learn that much? Give Linux that much time and I'll gearanty you'll know a whole lot more about linux than you ever knew about windows.

It's not really that hard, it's just MS would like you to stay dumb and they encourage users to staay ignorant, burning CDs from the command line is really much easier than using windows programs and you have so much more control.
