    Dual boot to single boot problems

    I had a dual boot system with linux on one hard drive and windows on the other. I was being careless and I deleted the linux harddrive which had the information about choosing the os upon bootup. So even though windows is still there even if i tell it to boot from the windows harddrive it...

    I have a laser printer at my house that is shared via an ethernet cable to the other computers in my house. I have this one for work though that connects to a vpn network outside my house. Not surprisingly, it doesn't see the printer when it is connected to the vpn but I was curious if there...

    Downloading newest version of Mandrake

    I currently have mandrake installed and I'm interested in downloading a new version to update it. When I go to the mirrors to get the most recent one though i get something like this: http://ftp.ale.org/pub/mirrors/mandrake/devel/2005/x86_64/ It clearly isn't set up in a format to burn to a...

    I use mandrake and I was curious how I can set it so that it connects via my wireless internet? Everytime it says that i'm disconnected it's because it tries to connect via the ethernet. I set it in the control center as wlan (in manage connections) but it doesn't seem to stick. Any...

    I want to install a 64 bit version of linux to run mathematica and I am really torn between Fedora Yarrow and Mandrake 10.1.

    Suggestion for replacement for superflower psu

    I'm looking at getting a power supply around 350 watts with preferably 18 amps (amd 3000+, 512mb ram, two 80gb hard drives (raid), dvd burner and maybe a few usb things) on the 12 volt rail but I want one that can suck lots of air past a power supply to keep my processor cool. I had a super...

    Computer power up woes

    I'm sorry to be repetitive but I was curious if my problem could be probed further. I had my computer on after having it on for about 24 hours total and 12 hours this session it was in sleep and it just turned off. At first I thought it was the power supply but when I tried the same power...
