alright everyone im new to this site and fairly new to linux for that matter, so let me clarify a couple things right now. one, im a noob. two, my last name is Crunkleton, thus i have exclusive rights to the use of the word "crunk" in my username, or anywhere else for that matter, and refuse to be grouped with the cliche slang slinging teenage populous of america, so :P .
anyways....
ok guys, i have a 6 GB usb pen drive, linux compatible, and im trying to install a linux OS on here. I have FC4 which comes with the GRUB bootloader upon installation. my /dev/sda1 is about 5.6 GB and is the standard ext3 filesystem. /dev/sda2 is my swap. i installed FC4 and GRUB successfully and GRUB will boot off of my pen drive i just cant seem to get it pointed in the right direction to boot right.
what i am aiming to do here is to be able to boot off of usb on any computer that allows usb booting. can someone lend a hand to this poor unfortunate soul?
thanks :)

| format windows hd's to linux format |

i had a windows 2003 server which i have recently converted to Fedora Core release 4
the install basically used the first hdd (as i told it to) and the remaining three hd's still had the original 'dynamic disc NTFS' format on them from Windows 2003 server.
I wanted to format all the other three hd's to Ext3 filesystem (for journalling) and to do so i had to first change the partition info from the SFS filesystem to LINUX
here's the output before i did anything
Quote:[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hdc: 123.5 GB, 123522416640 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 15017 cylinders

/dev/hdc1 1 15017 120624021 42 SFS
Disk /dev/hdd: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdd1 1 14589 117186111 42 SFS
so above, as you can see,. /dev/hda1 is already in linux format (actually it's a LVM logical volume manager format which Fedora Core defaults to) and i want to change the other three hd's from SFS (dynamic disks in windows 2003 server) to Ext3 linux.
first off, i need to re-partition the hard disc's one by one, so i started with /dev/hdb
login as root and do this
you will now be given some info like this
Quote:The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 14593.There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help):
now type the letter 't' as follows:-
Code: Command (m for help): t
Selected partition 1
Hex code (type L to list codes):
and now tell it what filesystem you want (83=linux)
Code: Hex code (type L to list codes): 83
Changed system type of partition 1 to 83 (Linux)
finally you need to write those changes so do that with a simple 'w'
Code: Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!
to verify that the changes are made as root do
as you see below, /dev/hdb is now type 83=linux
Quote:[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes

ok, now that's all done, you need to format the hdd to your chosen filesystem, i chose ext3 and this is how i did it
it won't take long, and once done you'll see something like this scroll by,,

and that's it, only two more hdd's to go !
thanks to znx and omegaevil for assistance with this, and below please see the 5 line version of this howto ;-)

I am running Slackware 10.2 with the 2.4.31 Kernel.
For the past few days I have been trying, with no luck, to install ndiswrapper. I have followed the Wiki Located Here. Everything goes as planed, I assume, untill I have to input "make install." At that point I get:
Code: root@Computer:/home/User/tmp/ndiswrapper-1.11# make install
make -C driver install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/User/tmp/ndiswrapper-1.11/driver'

If you need more info on this topic post your question, but like I said i followed the wiki to a T and thats what I got.
I really do not know what to do here so if anyone is willing to take the time to help an

I recently downloaded all 3 Mandrake 2006 ISO's and then went on to install it. Everything went fine until I tried to boot it after install. It went through all the checks (new hardware etc) and then after that it goes to a black screen with a solid dash in the top left of the screen (doesn't blink). It never changes from this screen. I am a linux noob so any answers would be greatly appreciated :)

Please bear with me, complete noob to linux :/
Just loaded FC4 for the first time las night. First mission is to get it connected to the net :)
My laptop hasn't got a network card init (yet) but for the moment I am connected via a USB network thing (According to my network configuration, under Hardware, its a Pegasus/Pegasus II USB and yes, its Ethernet). The light on this is flashing, so I know connection is going into there.
I've tried pinging 192.168.0.1 in terminal and all I get back is "Network is unreachable". I've also tried the browser, can't connect.
I've logged into my router (which is a Netgear DG834G) and looked at connected devices and it only shows up as this desktop being connected.
Any idea's how I can get connected?
