some noob questions about linux. Yesterday I installed suse 9.1 but it seems to be more difficult than I tought. I want to format my usb stick so it will work with linux, but I have to use fdisk, but whats fdisk, how I use it, where can I find it. I also want to install flashplayer but I need to type ./flashplayer-installer in command. But it doesn't seem to work. I downloaded aMSN, but it's in a .bin file, how do I open it with linux? |
-just type fdisk in the shell (console) -check user permissions on the file, so you can execute it chmod 755 flashplayer-installer - never used that before. try the RPM or the source (.tar.gz). |

Do I have to type it in command or somewhere else? I think somewhere else, but where. And it seems that fdisk can make your disk unreadable, and I don't want to screw up my usb stick, so I need to be 100% sure how it works. BTW, if I format it with fdisk, will it still work under windows? |
If fdisk is too hard, use cfdisk.. |

It sais thet I have to type fdisk /dev in console. Where is the console :D (thats prolly something I can find myself) But than I have to type the name of the device behind the fdisk command, where can I see what name my USB stick has? AND big question, will my usb stick still work in windows???? |
go the the start menu and open up a console or so. or press ctrl alt F1 to go textonly ctrl alt f5 (or f7) brings you back to the graphical environment the stick is prolly /dev/sda. "fdisk /dev/sda" format it with FAT, readable/writable by both linux and windows |
if I type fdisk in the konsole nothing happens |
