Guys what the OP needs is not spoon feeding, but reading about linux
(or any *nix) basics. If we were to spoon feed him then it goes on in
a ever cycling phase of he coming back with next problem and finally
decides to leave Linux. So in the best interest of praveen and the LUG
i point him to first read the following and familiarize himself before
posting to LUG. As anybody would expect, i think praveen has not
googled it before asking here. So he does not show he has put some
effort before going for help. Lazy ??
Ok here are the link to what you should be knowing to start working on Linux,
http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/LDP/sag/html/
http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/
Note: You don't have to read the whole of the above links , but just
skim through it and read in depth of thing which you find interesting
and coming back to read more when you feel like.
