I am using Telnet from a command prompt/ Is there any better telnet programs
for Linux.

I tried downloading one, seems all I got was source code. I loaded the
development software onto this system, trying to find the compiler
c++ ...no luck yet :)

Anyway, I am in here with the Telnet software that came with mandrake. This 
Telnet> prompt is taking back. Flash back from my first UNIX shell with my old
IDT SHell Internet account in the early 90's.

I tried this command Angus:
[mark@localhost mark]$ sfdisk -1 /dev/hda
bash: sfdisk: command not found

Ok I am a newbie, do I need to be in the dev/hdadirectory for this to work?
I am tryino figure out my navigation on the drive, I can see HOME, but no CC
drive.  Is home the drive, or like My Computer would be in WIndows...except I
see no drive with Mandrake.

I was playing with Knoppix on another computer and with that I can see both CD
ROM and drives, but then I am booting from CD and working out of RAM
DRIVE...which I don't think I saw.

Maybe just a map would cool, or a WIndows/DOS to LINUX translation manual, lol.
Wish I could find the compiler, haha...OK I am lost but this fun anyway. ]

Please excuse my ramblings, it is late and I entered the LINUX ZONE....
twilight zone music is playing in the back ground...I think I hear Rod
Sterling's voice....
