    Changing Permissions

    Also make sure you are root when you change permissions. As root give permissions to everyone; or change the owner to your account that you use. /******************************* DragonForce -Is it wrong to be strong *******************************/

    problem updating X window system.

    ok RH7.3 is really old. You could always download suse10. Works great; got a lot of drivers for the newer version's of graphics cards coming out now. to check the version of KDE you can always type rpm -q kde. I think its something like that. You can also type man rpm. This will list a bunch of...

    Adding a Hard Drive

    oh yes; I dont know exactly how that is setup but you can acces it like ftp://192.168.0.19; If it is on a network at your place. Uploading I think you would either need a ftp client or use the command line. /******************************* DragonForce -Is it wrong to be strong...

    Adding a Hard Drive

    I know this is off the point but why not run an apache webserver on the linux box and then instead of accessing or downloading your files through ftp command line you access it through the webserver's ip address. like so http://192.168.0.19; it then displays a index page on the machine. Or you...

    What are the steps to install windows xp and linux on desktop

    The booting issue is correctable. I find it easier and quicker sing the distro installation cd to redo all the configs for the system again. You could log in when it gives you the shell prompt; you have to try and unmount your root partition so you can remount it with read/write mode but that is...

    I had the exact problem; I had a SuSe9.2 hard drive and then I put in a new hard drive to test my remastering knoppix and then when I plugged in the SuSe9.2; got the message saying the root partition is in read mode and needs to be remounted. I did a repair with the install cd and it worked. It...

    What are the steps to install windows xp and linux on desktop

    If it is a clean box then boot up with the linux cd and redo the partitions. You'll need the following: linux OS(/dev/hda1) Linux swap(/dev/hda2) Xp partition which XP will create when you install it. You'll create the first 2 with the linux command fdisk; there is a gui for it on the...

    Using NTFS

    If you just want to try linux before jumping in with all the installation bit; download yourself a copy of the greatest live cd ever. Knoppix v5 or Knoppix STD(security tools distro). Then you can even remaster it but thats a whole different thread all together...

    make image of disk with boot cd???

    why not use the tar command?? tar -zcvf /var.tgz /var/* as an example. it will just make a .tgz file with the contents of the directory. /******************************* DragonForce -Is it wrong to be strong *******************************/

    Using NTFS

    Your NTFS drives should be mountable on your linux distro. Open up a console in your linux and type "man mount". This is a manual page which will describe how to use this function. Usually something like "mount -t NTFS /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3". I cant remember off hand now; Im at work. For your SaTa...

    make image of disk with boot cd???

    Have a look at remastering knoppix; rebuild a knoppix live cd distro, you create a compressed filesystem which all can fit on a cd or a dvd. If you want a boot up cd. or you can do one better; on your linux box at the console; type "man mkiso" this will give you a descripton on the mkiso app...
