see....... the one which is given by digit is bootable, it contains the exact installation files....hence it is not in its iso format.....

As I have no idea abount Linux OS. I was in fear that my existing OS will collapse. But after taking help of Digit Fast Track of April 2006 I have installed Ubunto 5.10 from the April 06 Digit DVD. But now I am facing problem how to configure internet connection. In the first track the setting is shown in KDE and GNOME. I did not find any such interface in ubunto to configure . I have BSNL BB connection. Is there any Ubuntu Expert to tell me the procedure to how to configure the same

I have another problem. How I change the boot order in the start up scree.
I wish to make the XP as default and the ubuntu as 2nd. As per the help file and Digit Fast Track it is posiible to edit the file /system file/grub/boot/menu.lst in vi. editor or any text editor. But I am unable to edit the file. The file is read only hence could not eble to edit it. Is there any
mistake I am doing. Please give me solution how to make XP as defauld OS.

if u are using ubuntu then use the "sudo" command to become the super user and then edit the file... use "sudo" command like below
sudo <command>
if u are using the fedora then become a root user by typing in "su" command and enter the root password and then edit the file...

[skghosh44]

Where I will find the command prompt or where I will type sudo. As I am a novice in "UBUNTU", I have no idea. Please provide me the exact location and how to go there and modify the file menu.lst.

I am fail to change the boot order. I tried all the process you have posted.
I think it is not possible for me. Better I uninstall it, but that I also dont no.
Will you guyes please tell me how to do that.

At last I can. I changed the default booting in Win XP. Actually the file was
locked by the system. I have 1st created a root PW, then unlok the the file.
and the job done.

[praka123]

root is the administrator.never login as root.make a local user account(no need if already have) and use.for root permissions open terminal and login "su" .
http://tldp.org is the site you shud look for more howtos and guides.
Also I'll suggest get some guide on Linux user permissions and File System hierarchy which is very different and superiror than windows.
