SoulNothing

thanks for the guru comment i practically run my school network because of our network peoples incompetence fedora is exactly like redhat cept you start in text i really havent noticed much difference other than that heres how my hard drive looks now 60 GB Xp 25 GB Redhat 9 25 GB Fedora Core 1 1GB Linux swap the only issue im having is setting up the network again i got the nvidia drivers for 9.0 and it aint working right i havent had to much time to play in the shell just with the sndconfig and graphics but another issue is speed i heard that linux was supposed to be faster but its the other way around whats up im running a 2.8ghz amd the thing about fedora i think is its meant for advanced users it didnt list my monitor or my graphic but hey its a great peace of work

i got fedora on and its coexsisting with xp but i switched the resolution from 800*600 to 1024*768 or whatever the number is anywho i screwed the screen over anyway i can change that through text now i have another 25 gb for redhat noob is excited

im told im stubborn as a ox and i figure that since im so young im getting a good learning through this but ill try that as well

im going to try tommorow got state testing tommorow and just got back from court but if that dont work im trying fedora i got 7.3 for my laptop and that works real well. btw mel i like your sig and thanks for all the help

mepis nor ark work just going to try red hat

first for laptop specs 166mhz redhat 7.3 98 ram 16mn video 16 bit souncard what im looking for is a recorder/mike player i dont know if redhat has one preinstalled but im looking for this for a band

tried mepis left it on overnight nothing again ;( so tonight i finally got cable isp so im getting every distro i can find tonight im trying redhat 9.0 backing up hard drive partitioning does this seem right to do in school now so i wont be trying it to later heres my plan pre installed xp first going to partition 60gb to xp ntfs 50gb to linux 1gb to swap losing x) so much sleep im going nuts ive learned more in this short period about computers then i have in my entire 16 years of life keep all hammers and guns away from me or ill kill my hp

got mepis any more advice before i try to install oh yeah i dont like pentium me dislike pentium me have amd 2600

all right let me ask something while were at this i have one drive of my 111gb hard driver partitioned as NTFS: 60GB Linux:50 GB Linuxswap 1GB so i install xp first then mepis i wont be able to boot xp again or do i need to get a special boot program like i have something called boot ing not i havent done this but this is what im planning to do.....

im confused on this mbr too danleff, real quick so theres another way to boot beside lilo

im going to get mepis tonight

imn personally a nvidia person, plus i heard they work better with linux id choose nvidia the type depends on the budget

i like linux running text on laptop but hp no accepty must use hammer for it holds windows it took me like 4 hours to get windohs to work 2 to install when i install linux it takes 20 minutes at max but windows holds king because of gaming options and all the non techies like its simplicity. But when it crashes and it does quite often. (I notice this at my school) people will start banging the mouse against the desk picking up the keyboard drop it, punch the monitor and start cursing. So microsoft succesfly destroys every perphial with your computer

all right only one partition now its a ntfs can someone please give me a link to this partition magic realize broke cant pay for software but i only have one partition and no live cd i have will start i think i need to mess around with ark some more

alright got you on the resolution still lost on the issue as why 9GB! disapearred i have an old dell 15 inch hooked to a modern hp so um and im afraid if i try to put on linux again itll eat more of my hard + whenever i tried to choose the paralell option it wiped my hardrive clean bye bye and reset my bios and i had to go in and mess around with things

alright when i put on the partition i used either boot it ng or cfdisk i allocated 500 mb to the swap drive and the rest to linux now i dont have any linux on it just xp

LOL thats hilarious it sounds alot like me but the chair wont be flying itll be broken in two

Alright finally got a distro installed on my hp. AnywaY now i need to configure some things with EvilE one soundcard: Audigy OEM from gateway 2 Network onboard from nforce2 mobo those are my main issues as of now but im still confused as to a few things like in the screenshots evile showed there was a side bar how do you get that to come up one last thing when i right click and i get that bar to come up that allows access to apps only two work as of now openoffice and the terminal the other nothing happens thanks in advance

i tried them in all forms lower caps no caps etc. also i just started another thread on my hp a220n which is on the threads maybe someone could help by following up to it. i think i need to get xwindows or maybe it just cant handle it, its 100mb ram 2gb hard drive, and intel mmx 166 thanks

any idea if this is compatible with linux its the hand glove that works as a mouse i use it every now and then but wanted to know if its compatible with linux

yeah i noticed that with creative while looking for drives for my audigy

i would cept a few things the parts you use ie processor or graphic, i prefer amd and nvidia and b ive been dying to build my own pc just need the cash but its not a bad idea you might want to try it on ebay first

MS can mean so much micro squash madly stressful Maming software etc. its interesting to see peoples various perspectives on it

thanks jimf43 danleff

tryed comes up with something to the effect of non exsistent command i tried GUI Xstart Startx start kde i know some of these arent codes but i was just trying them at random
