Just don't try to write and you're a-okay. Slackware and SuSE also have live CDs. SuSE will pretty much configure everything for you (I can watch TV using my TV tuner card when using SuSE and I didn't configure a damn thing). Slackware is nearly the opposite, but if you can learn Slackware, I...

I like Verbatims, and if you look at the Sunday ads, you'll always find DVD+-R deals every week.

That's weird: usually when doing a standard Mandrake installation, X should come up right away and Windows should be in the menu. I didn't touch anything through the Mandrake install (just trying to get through it quickly) and that's how it worked for me. Anyway, I'm guessing you'd be using...

Is it possible to change where it's linked to?

34C with a Barton 2500+, stock HSF... I keep the ambient air pretty cool, though (I'm in blankets right now =P)

No one?

Oh, and I'm not a USB fan since USB distributes its bandwidth between all USB devices and Firewire doesn't.

If both computers have firewire, that would be a way to go: faster than LAN. I use it all the time. 700MB goes by in ~3 minutes. I don't know if USB will work either, but if it does, just dish out the $10 for the USB 2.0 drivers. Transferring with USB 1.1 will take days to transfer a gig...

I had a Shuttle SB51G with a 200W PSU running a 2.4B, GF4 4400, 512MB PC2700, 2 WD Special Edition HDDs (80 and 120), DVD-ROM, Logitech Elite MX Duo, and a wireless PCI card... not to mention sound and various peripherals connected to the USB/Firewire slots. It was pretty amazing, since I had a...

Have you tried installing the latest detonator drivers?

Pretty much what NogginBoink said. Besides, Administrator requires a password. Just think back to what you put in when you installed XP.

Sorry to intrude, I really have no pennies to include in the matter, but I was just curious how a reboot causes problems with the computer... do the problems you have show up from a cold/hard boot?

I'm a newbie myself running Slackware 9.1 and I love it. I can configure my system under Slackware using command line faster than Mandrake 9.2 (RC2) or RH9 gui's... plus, it just feels right doing it that way ;) As for your partitions, I've always asked around about the advantages to having...

I'm trying to get the Linksys WMP11 (not the broadcom chip) working under Slackware 9.1 with wlan-ng drivers (title says it all, doesn't it?). I know the WMP11 will work under Linux, since I've gotten it to work under SuSE 8.2. I've followed the directions on the README for building the wlan-ng...

That would be a negative, good sir. Not necessarily. There is the option to just upgrade and keep all your files, but I never do that. I like the feeling of starting out fresh. The best way to go is to have a CD-RW, back up all your data, and then do the fresh install. Besides, you have to...
