6. What is a mirror? Why should I not get these things from ftp.suse.
com?
As there are many users who need to retrieve things from the server at the
same time, its capacity limit would be reached very quickly. For this reason,
there are a number of other FTP servers that contain a duplicate of the SUSE
server. These servers are referred to as mirrors. Select a mirror in your vicin-
ity (same country) to speed up the download. A list of mirror is available at
http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/ftp/.
7. I cannot find any .exe files. Where are all the applications?
In Linux, executable files normally do not have file extensions. Most pro-
grams are located in /usr/bin and /usr/X11R6/bin.
8. How can I recognize executable files?
The command ls -l returns all executable files in the directory /usr/bin
in green. Also recognize them by the x in the first column.

9. I want to remove Linux. How does this work?
With fdisk, delete the Linux partitions. You might need to run fdisk in
Linux. Afterwards, boot from the MS-DOS disk and run fdisk /MBR in
DOS or Windows.
10. How can I access my CD?
First mount the CD with the mount command. Information about this com-
mand can be found in mount on page 275.
