  1. Basically I just want to install server from my multiboot USB instead of using another usb key. I'm probably just going to throw everything into / and leave it as is, since that appears to work. Thanks for the info. :)
  2. Hi, I was able to get it to boot by placing everything in the root directory of the thumb drive. I ideally want to have everything in it's own folder so I can keep the clutter to a minimum, but if I move the files and edit the kernel string to point to where the files are, it fails to mount the "cdrom." It works perfectly fine if I leave all the files in the root. Here's the menu.lst entry for it: title Ubuntu Server x64 (Working) kernel=/install/vmlinuz noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed initrd=/install/initrd.gz boot I've tried moving the files to /lucidserver/ and editing the menu.lst entry. It boots but fails after trying to mount the cd. Here's the menu.lst code for that one: title Ubuntu Server x64 (Testing) kernel=/lucidserver/install/vmlinuz noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed initrd=/lucidserver/install/initrd.gz boot Any help is appreciated. I can just leave everything in the root, but I really want it to be a bit more organized.
  3. BT4 should run fine on an eeePC. I've run it on my eeePC 1005HA without any problems (outside of the screen being so damn tiny)
  4. Hrm, interesting. I was just going off a link I saw, since I don't have a WD external.

  6. Hope you still stick around moonlit, even if it's not as an admin. You've brought some good advice. :) Good read too.
  7. I only run an AV and let Windows deal with the firewall and haven't had any problems. Sidenote: Using a VM in "seamless mode" works great for web browsing.
  8. Looks like the OP edited the link back in. F'ing spammers.
  9. It really depends on what you want to do. If you want to compile everything from source and find out how everything "works" you might look into Gentoo. Personally that's too much work for me, just to get an OS up and running.
  10. That machine should run almost any flavor of *nix or *BSD with little problems (depending on specific hardware). CentOS and FreeBSD are nice, but I can't be arsed to learn them when Ubuntu works what I want to do.
  11. Aww I was going to mention emacs vs vi! I stick to vi or nano myself..
  12. I use ImgBurn all the time. :-)
  13. If you were sharing wifi you might as well set up HTTPS. Having it set to http doesn't mean that someone with wireshark can find the password, since you have to be between the host and the router to capture packets. Or at least that's what I thought (unless it's wireless), so correct me if I am wrong. :)
  14. Most of the routers I've worked with (except really old ones) can use https instead of http for the web interface. If you are worried about the password being sent in cleartext, just use https.

    Receipts

    I always shred receipts.
  16. That's a nice board. No video out, but you can probably install pfSense on the CF and configure it on a different machine, then put it in that board.
  17. Looks like an Alfa AWUS036H. They don't even tell you the model. >.< I'd personally get it from here: http://www.data-alliance.net/-strse-73/Alf...-USB/Detail.bok But that's just me.
  18. Yah, Win95 didn't ship with USB support. I think they added it in version B, with a patch, but meh, the support was shitty. Win98 USB support wasn't really that much better either.
  19. That would by why you put the CD in another computer and grab the file from it, or get it somewhere online. Put it on a floppy and transfer it over. Hell you can even download this here: http://1gighost.com/ed/jamiephiladelphia/boot95b.exe Run it to image a floppy then boot off said floppy and replace the himem.sys file. Man, I am glad that I don't deal with Win95 or Win98 anymore.
  20. I haven't done an install with an encrypted Win7 install, but I can tell you that it should be fine in a dual boot configuration.
  21. That's what happens when someone asks a question, doesn't like the answer and is a douchebag about it. An OS is an OS, FFS!
  22. I've tried running 4+ VMs on a dual core system and it brings the VMs to a standstill practically. Host OS is bogged down, but still usable. But yah, more RAM and a upgraded CPU would probably work wonders. Sidenote: I am able to run one VM on my 1.66Ghz Atom netbook with 2GB of RAM. The VM has 512MB of RAM allocated and runs "ok" a bit sluggish since it's a single core Atom, but it runs (and I am surprised it runs).
