ntfs-->vfat-->ext3 was How to write in ntfs from Linux and viceversa

the swing gui shows my linux partitions right off the bat!

what are the downsides to LTOOLS? because ntfs "changes" from time to
time it sounds risky to do this from linux. as LTOOLS works from
windows it "seems" safer. any logic to that? anecdotal evidence?
thanks,

upgraded motherboard - linux running very slow

Posted: 31 Dec 2004 02:13 PM PST

After all this, it turned out to be a BIOS problem. My board was running Bios
91510a.86a.0213 -- upgrading to 91510a.86a.0332 solved all of the problems. All
kernels are now booting fine.

The particular motherboard was an intel d915GAVL. I'd suspect similar
motherboards (d915gav, d915gev, etc) would probably have the same problem. So a
hint to owners of these boards -- if you have terrible performance, check and
see if you're running bios 91510a.86.0213 ...

I'm hearing they fixed a lot of this in 9.2: the migration to the 2.6 kernel
base was clearly incomplete, but ye ghods, I hate YaST. They violate every
principle Eric Raymond described in his famous rant on the poor quality of
Linux GUI's at http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cups-horror.html.

c.o.l.answers, questions & help

On the 15th of every month, there is an article posted to the newsgroups
news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, and news.lists.misc titled "List of
Big Eight Newsgroups". This is the list of "approved" newsgroups, which
every news server _should_ carry. While c.o.l.answers is listed as a
moderated newsgroup

comp.os.linux.answers FAQs, How-To's, READMEs, etc. about Linux. (Moderated)

neither c.o.l.questions or c.o.l.help are so listed. I don't think that
c.o.l.questions was ever an official newsgroup, and c.o.l.help was replaced
by comp.os.linux.misc back in 1994 (at the same time that c.o.l.admin was
replaced by comp.os.linux.setup).
 

Looking at my newslog, I see there was a single article posted to that
group back on September 3, 2003, and I'm pretty sure it had forged approval
headers. The logs I have accessible only go back to January 2003. As noted
by the group description above, it was last used to post to post copies of
the HOWTOs at regular intervals. Given the availability of these documents
on many mirror sites (_every_ sunsite mirror has current versions), the
rational for the group has basically disappeared. Hmmm, found another log
that sorta indicates the group was inactive before 1998. I really don't
see much use for the group anyway.
 

In English, the word 'answer' does not ONLY mean "something spoken or
written in reply to a question". It also refers to "solution to a problem".

New Dictionary of the English Language)
 

Yes, but help with what? The current comp.os.linux.* hierarchy consists
of seventeen different groups (advocacy, alpha, announce, answers,
development.apps, development.system, embedded, hardware, m68k, misc,
networking, portable, powerpc, security, setup, x, xbox) to reduce traffic
on any specific group by allowing questions to be targeted. If you read the
charters for these groups, you'd find they all have very specific uses. The
c.o.l.misc group (which replaced c.o.l.help) is meant for postings that are
about Linux, but not on topic for ANY of the other groups.
 

No, many news servers do not carry such bogus groups as c.o.l.questions
or c.o.l.help (or any other "non-standard" group), and therefore neither
allow posting to them, OR PASS THEM ON TO PEERS. This is the same deal
with the unofficial groups in the anarchy^W'alt' hierarchy. Those groups
are carried solely at the whim of the news administrator of the
individual news servers. Now, there are news services that like to
advertise that they are uncensored, or are the biggest server in the
world, but they are carrying groups that may not circulate outside of their
own little world. So, which would you like to post to - a newsgroup that
is seen on virtually every news server, or one seen only on a few?

installing from the hard drive

No reason why not, because the ISOs don't have anything to do with the
files that the installer needs to touch.

But in general I would not recommend installing on top of an existing
installation, even if it is an earlier major version of the same distro.
Best to do a clean install on every major upgrade.

Can I install on a USB 2.0 external HDU?

original poster e-mailed:
Yes... I get the advanced options menu and then a boot selection
menu...
The first has an "enable mutltiple os's" line and the latter now has an
XP option and the "backup" partition showing as OS's.
----------------------


does the boot selection menu look something like:

1.) booot from floppy
2.) boot from cd-rom
3.) boot from hard drive
4.) boot from USB hard drive (maybe it says "backup")

if it does, just select "boot from USB hard drive" and you'll be
running linux mandrake. the way you have things set up grub or lilo
(boot managers) won't work AFAIK, you'll need to get get to the boot
menu to boot linux. yes?
