HD Install :: Got GRUB Working, But Some Questions



I finally got the GRUB working, The screen is 1024x1024 [24] but the fonts are all really small. How can I install TTF fonts? I am getting used to ELMF manager, DO I have to access one drive at a time with that select drive button in the bottom? I want access to all my partitions/drives simultaneously.

I want to install Privoxy/Proximitron, and a Firewall? Which is the best Firewall to install. I have Privoxy as a source How can I compile it.

Apt-get does not work, infact it states Apt-get not installed. How do I get it installed.

Thanks

Alan

Documentation (Dok' uu min tay shun) N. - 1. Documents covering information about or related to a topic. 2. something that newbies NEVER read.


Installing Apt-get right now,  by enabling it,  I  want to know how I can install fonts?

I want to know how to Find files/directories a Search utility for the system where is it?

Thanks,
AJ

I tried the documentation section, it is still a work in Progress could not find answers to my questions. I enabled Synaptic and tried installing alien, but I am not able to install it. Instead Synaptic removed 44 pacakges pppconfig, xfonts, Flux box etc. Had to install DSL all over again. Funny! re-installtion happened almost within  five minutes. Any answres to font installation,

Thanks

Alan

There is an aliendebs.dsl package in the repository. It may still be in the testing area. Read the info file associated with it and load it up.
