Start with /newtosco.html and keep in mind that what you
know about Linux can hurt you very badly on a different OS- for example, you
probably use "killall" on Linux. Openserver has a cpommand with the same
name, but it is dangerously diferrent.  Other commands have slightly
different syntac, or slightly different output- really dangerous if you are
in the habit of dashing off little one liner pipelines.



So tread carefully.  Those of us who come from this environment of course
have to do the same when we use Linux- the animals look very much alike but
are also very different.   You might find this of use too :

Oh, and specific to your boot and boot disk questions:



/Boot/ might be helpful.

    Being tired will cost me at Poker tonight but I don't see how I can squeeze in a nap.

    Wife had a nightmare at 2:00 AM; I never got back to sleep. Gave up at 4:00 and got up.
