Linux Anybody?

[brutus]

Now all I see is a black screen with "GRUB"

 

Can't seem to boot.

 

try typing reboot

 

if that did not work

 

you have to boot manually

 

type the following

 

find /vmlinuz

kernel [the directory where vmlinuz resides]

boot

 

if all fails

 

use your live cd again and re install grub

typing reboot fixed the problem. I think the agent simply killed the power switch instead of properly shutting the unit down. gonna try the browser version of puppy and might install other applications. hehe. panibagong basa nanaman.

not sure ... i think xp will just overwrite linux. do it the other way around... install xp first then install linux para dual boot.

would you want to dual boot or just virtualize XP.

 

I have Ubuntu as my main OS and I installed VirtualBox and created a virtual machine that runs XP.

 

If you want to Dual boot try following this tutorial.

If you need details for the virtual machine solution let me know.

Go to synaptics package manager and do a package search there. if skype package is available on your current repo setting, synaptics will find it for you. if your a cli guy, shell as root and run :

 

apt-get install skype
