[Discuss] tex and dsl

[Tim Holloway]

hello everyone.

it seems that although i have a better computer now, i still can't run a better version of linux. i tried ubuntu but got an error 17 then the l99 at boot.

but dsl works. however, i wanted to install tex on it and when i use mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom like the guide (http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/live.html#x1-120003) tells me, it doesn't work. i dropped the last two sections of the directory, then spaced iso 9660, put it back, blech. but bash told me the iso format wasn't recognized by the kernel.

if anyone happens to know what's going on, please let me know... ?

i'd like linux, tex, and hopefully some source code of some sort to play with, especially python (since i'm just starting out).

thanks,

tim
