This was great work and is really appreciated. But it points out to me the fatal flaw of Grob2. It is a bloated solution to a problem that...
You may have fried the partition table with the mkfs command. But gparted should still see the drive and allow you to create a new table. I'd...
How old is the XP machine and what hardware specs can you give? Most of the recommendations I've seen posted all involve The Latest and Greatest...
Hmm?? Are we talking image "viewers" here or "editors?" I do know a lot of people claim that Photoshop keeps them in the Windows camp.
Yeah, but Mrk, you are a superuser!;D I thought, by definition, the "killer app" that some pundits claim is missing in Linux is the one that...
Just my personal take, but no "image viewer," no matter how good, could possibly qualify as a "killer app." Just how much time does anyone spend...
The Linux OSs don't have to boot from primary partitions. I usually prefer that because resizing extended partitions can cause problems. And no...
If you install Ubuntu before PCLos, and put its grub2 in its boot sector, then install PCLos with grub going to the MBR, there is a good chance...
Question #1; If there is a way to do this during install, I haven't found it. Question #2: If you've done as I suggested and installed grub2 in...
If your boot partition has legacy grub, then you still have to install grub2 in the boot sector of the ext4 partition. Then you chain from grub...
The need to jump to grub2 is tied to the adoption of ext4. Legacy grub doesn't recognize ext4 partitions. Lilo doesn't either. If you format...
Why are you using extended partitions instead of primary? What probably is happening is that the partition designations are changing as you...
Install ntfs-3g to access NTFS partitions.
But Paris is still Paris and Mexico is still Mexico. Only a pretensious a$$ would say paree when speaking English. Even Pres. Charles De Gaulle...
And I say that's BS because accepted usage cannot be wrong. Canonical has the right to say how they want it to be pronounced but not abiding by...
Are you saying that Canonical has the right to tell the public how they shall pronounce the name? Accepted usage has always been deemed proper...
Please cite the law granting them this authority. Accepted usage supercedes their wishes.
I did NOT ask for "proof." I asked for an authoritative cite. So far, the only one that comes even close is the "Macmillan Dictionary." Not...
That might be what the word ubuntu means in some African language. (Nobody seems quite sure of the language or the exact translation.) But...
Problem with that reasoning is that Canonical has never exerted their "authority." This controversy isn't new and Canonical has never stepped...
Just to set the record straight, my name is not Dude. As to your cites, one has to admire your perseverance. I did a search for online...
Yes, it is.
Not really. There is no need to delete the E: partition. Just change the "active" flag. In fact, setting the "active" flag on the C: partition...
I know some people want to canonize Pres. Mandela, but that still doesn't make him an authority on the English language.
Separate names with a comma.
