[linux_distro]

hay...

ayaw talaga gumana yung DSL (damn small linux)...

naka write na sa cd ko yung files and folders nya.

 

>boot

>knoppix

>lost+found

>index

 

kaso ayaw mag boot sa cd, naka default na rin sa aking pc yung boot from cd...pero sadyang ayaw mag boot.

 

anybody who tried po using this one? i hope someone can help.

 

thanks.

 

Have you tried using cheatcodes?

 

"A cheatcode is a option which can be passed to DSL before it boots. They can be used to change the way DSL operates. Since DSL is based on Knoppix it inherits a number of cheatcodes from Knoppix. Over time a number of options unique to DSL have been added.

Boot DSL from the Live CD. At the first boot prompt type dsl followed by the cheatcodes you wish to use. DSL will then boot with your selected options."

Good luck.

because its not .dll dependent its a lot to easier to recover from software crashes whe you are using linux...same thing when booting up

I tried Mandrake or Mandriva and Redhat or Fedora. I use it in the workplace as an NMS, syslog server and alert scripts. Very good for those kind of applications because you need not worry of Viruses that could flood your network unlike Windows systems.

dual boot

Hummm... what language did you choose when you installed it?

 

 

US English. But it's ok now. All I needed to do was reboot and for some reason everything got back to normal. I hope it doesn't happen again, though.

 

Can someone post the ideal Feisty Fawn repository listing here - including the non-free ones?

 

Damn. I hope they make it even more user-friendly next release and won't have to rely on terminal commands anymore.

 

I also ran into trouble recently with my display setting. I messed up the configuration in /etc/x11/xorg.conf as I was trying to follow the instructions on http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Nvi...dgy-44388.shtml . Then when I rebooted, the GUI wouldn't load and kept saying that the system display was misconfigured and ejected me to the unix prompt - which I have no idea whatsoever how to run commands in. If this were to happen again, what commands should I type to 1) go to the etc/x11 directory and 2) copy the backup of the old config file and replace the messed up config file with the old one?

 

What I was intending to do was disable the video overlay because whenever I switch on the Desktop Effects, any videos that I play show up as a green colored screen.

You can enable multiverse and other repositories from Synaptic to get more applications.

Then there's also Medibuntu, where you can get some non-free stuff like codecs and Skype (if you need it)-- I don't remember the address exactly but you can Google for "Medibuntu".

 

Damn. I hope they make it even more user-friendly next release and won't have to rely on terminal commands anymore.

I actually ran into a similar situation when I first installed Edgy a few months ago. The only solution that I was able to come up with was to reinstall (toink!). And I honestly don't know how to remedy it should I run into that situation again so I just shun away from editing xorg.

 

I haven't experienced that "things turning green" problem though. When I messed up my xorg, I was trying to get Beryl to work and I must have typed the wrong stuff in the wrong places. I wasn't able to overwrite the old xorg with the backup.

 

Using the terminal though, I think, is something that we really cannot escape. Hehehe! Well, we'll get used to it.
