Hello, everyone. I'm a Windows user with an interest in computers and I would love to start to learn and use Linux. This looks like a friendly community, guess I'll talk to you later. :)

Hello all, I am having troubles with a USB Pen Drive. I tried to install FC4 on my 6GB Pen Drive a while back and installed GRUB on the boot sectors of the drive. Unfortunately, I never actually got it to work quite right and I reformatted my pen drive to make it windows compatible again. However, whenever I boot with the drive in the usb port, GRUB still loads. I'm sure there is some easy way to fix this but I don't know what. How can I erase the boot sectors on my drive?

 

Thanks in advance,

Scott

I recently changed my display adapter in an attempt to change my refresh rate, well now x doesnt want to boot, and says i have a bad display adapter selected, which i probably do.

 

I only know how to change the adapter from Desktop>Display in KDE, but i can only boot up to run level 3 until i get my adapter reset.

 

Does anyone know where to start? i assume there is a config file somewhere that needs to be changed. But i cant find it.

I finished download the suse linux 10 by using bittorent. Inside the folder there are five files total. Do I need to extract them then burn it into cd?

Now I'm using Windows XP on my laptop, I want to install suse linux for the first time. Is possible that all the files in C drives are not been harm by installing linux through booting?

What a great forum you guys have got here :)I've not been using linux that long and I'm very impressed with my own progress, all thanks to this forum, and also many thanks to znx & anyweb who have helped me out a lot! I rarely have to post as just with searching it gives me most of my answers to my questions :)

 

Keep up the good work! :)

Hi, I have seen a few screen shots of linux and some have got like a really fancy menu bar which enlarges as you pass your mouse over it, it looks a bit like apple mac os's actually.

 

Which linux is this? I'm currently using FC4 and can't seem to find any options to have a cool menu bar :)

 

Thanks!! :)

Hello, all. This is my first post, maybe you guys could help me out. I am excited to get Linux for my Windows XP machine, not because I think windoze is terrible or unusable, but I want to try out something else, and I'm always ready to try out open source stuff. However, I encountered many issues with the idea of Linux on the machine. I want to dual boot (at least at first) so I can run my apps (mostly games). I already use Open Office, Thunderbird, Firefox, ClamWin, and all that good open source stuff. A) My drive is in NTFS, so I can't re-partition with anything I have on the PC right now. (you can only use fdisk for fat/fat32)? Buying a utility would be expensive from what I've seen. B) So I tried SUSE Live DVD, but that hung on the usb detection, can't "mount the drives"? and doesn't detect my soundcard, and several other errors. I tried Knoppix after that, but the mouse doesn't work and the USB wifi adapter doesn't work. C) Alot of Linux message boards and things say you need a 3.5" floppy drive to install Linux? I don't have one. Also, if SUSE Live/Knoppix didn't work, does that mean that the real HD Install distro wont work either? Thanks in advance for your good advice, Linux seems alot trickier to figure out then I thought it would be.

Hello,

 

I installed SUSE on my laptop and got resolutions atleast as high as 1024x768.

Then I installed FC5 (which I like better), and got resolutions only as high as 800x600.

 

What should I do?

 

Thanks,
