Ive tried both kubuntu and dreamlinux.

Here is what happens. I can boot off of a disk, but once it tries to start the install system, it ceases to see the dvd drive as being on a generic controller. So windows setup boots up enough so I can press F6(I think thats it) to load a 3rd party driver from the disk, at which point it works. Otherwise I get a bsod during setup. With linux, it boots until it says "starting kernel", at which point it freezes.

I used a floppy with my raid driver on it.

Is it possible to install linux from my hdd? It refuses to boot off of my dvd drive because it is connected to a raid controller, so booting off of the hard drive is really my only option.

what I am concerned with is space. I have 100megs free now, and I cannot even clear stuff out by burning to disc because I dont have space to unrar my files. It is really annoying. So, I need one big hdd, or two smaller ones for the same price, that will give me 250 or more gigs. Preferably 320.

well, thats a bit out of my budget, which is about $150 maximum, although I would like to keep it under that.

Im getting a new hdd soon(very soon, after cleanig up, I have 300megs out of 140gigs free) and need suggestions.

you can't be serious!

now what would be really neat is if we could use psiexec(sp?) from sysinternals to run the :start, start start, goto start batch on other computers(as in networked ones.)

I read about a holographic screen a while ago, has anyone seen anything about this recently.

couple of things make a nas(network attached storage) with a tv tuner, and maybe a better gfx card you could make a media center machine create a portable storage device by taking a minipsu, the hdd's, and the ide-usb converters. Make it glow for activity(not sure how) and hold it together with electric tape create a server create a very powerful router/weak computer more coming later

it seems really efficient. I ran one in under 10seconds on the C: drive. Wonder if we could copy jpg's under 100k in size?

well, "Still in early development, the USB Chainsaw is described as a all purpose physical access hacking device able to take advantage of many x86 based operating systems, including Windows and Linux. No other details are available at time of writing. Dev5 Project" right from the wiki, that means at least linux will be supported.

how much longer would it take if we make it this: mkdir %~d0%computername% xcopy "C:*.doc" %~d0%computername% /s/c/q/r/h

It does say that it will work on many x86 systems, so shouldn't it at least work with most linux distro's? Or mac os x intel?

what about my other questions?

I wasn't sure if this goes under questions or hacks, but here is goes... is there a way to sniff wired network traffic?

I found the usb chainsaw on the wiki and had a few questions: 1.Will it be on the next episode? 2.If so, when is the next episode? 3.How will is exploit linux? 4.Will it support os x?

you are referring to the flash drive? Ok, well let me tell you something, I have a job managing three websites for various organizations around the area. They've each got something like 300megs of files to transport around for editing. I made frequent backups of my mom's computer(no disk burner), and the family computer(too many files for a cd burner). I transport files to my grandparents(mainly photos, the cd drive's functionality is sparatic).

You guys don't want to know how many of the "you know you are a geek/hacker when..." that I fit.

wow, thanks!!! We should add a package that takes everything document(ie. html, shtml, txt, doc, xls... ect)

Ok, I get that, but the big thing now is, do I get u3 or not? Can it be removed easily of I don't like it? Because there are a lot of things I might use it for, and a lot of situations where it could be a nusance.

Ok, Ill go looking. It is a major purchase in my opinion, I was brought up to know the value of a dollar, and not to waste 50 on something substandard.

yes, but its way too slow for big transfers. I also don't like carrying around the cable.

I backup my mom's 4gigs of files monthly, I reformat once every two months(average). I need to back things up quickly to other computers, especially over large distances. Im not too caught up on speed anymore. Right now, its either the cruzer micro or the cruzer mini. I just need to know, can u3 be removed?If so, does the cd partition go away? Can it be put back on if I change my mind? The micro is faster, cheaper, and I woldn't need to worry about loosing a cap, thats why I need to know about u3. The micro is fast enough for me.
