you can close a process by using the kill or killall commands

Just partition your drive.

I assumed he already had an older version of gcc installed as he was quite specific with the version number ;-)

So what's the problem?

You might want to look at this (http://www.esquotes.com/download.htm)

You might want to check out the new Penryn intel processors. Look pretty sweet.

So the list so far:
Novell
Xandros
Linspire
TurboLinux

If Redhat succumbs, we're really screwed.

>Novell deliberately crippled parts of it so they couldnt get in trouble when people installed
restricted codecs etc...

Becoming more like Microsoft daily.

rpms suck, just compile mplayer yourself.

>Hello, I believe the D810 uses the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 card, from everywhere I've checked. If that's the case, you will need to install the ipw2200 driver.

Didn't he say he had a 1370...

No, The Dude.

You dual booting *nix? ATI cards suck (though drivers are getting better) on linux...

Have you tried anything else?

Cool. I thought tail just displayed the end of a file...

#!/bin/sh

Your best bet probably would be to learn how to interact with X11 by learning some xlib functions. Xdm would provide a good and simple base.

You might want to try lsusb

What's a MVP?

With a text editor nano ~/.bashrc

To change it look in ~/.bashrc. It should have an entry that looks like this PS1='\u \w\# ' . Change it too PS1='[\u@\h \w] \# '

What libaries does it say you need?

This should work.

What distro are you using?

Could you post the output of lspci ?

I have an hp dv6000t and I have been able to get everything working with a little work. The biggest hurdle was the webcam but it was remedied with a few hours of googling. So what doesn't work?

Don't know if there is a "good" way for debian put this works on my server:
apt-cache search e >& file (e is the most common letter in the english language) Then open it up in emacs and M->

just wondering for no particular reason if my linux box has less or more packages and commands then most (I'm guessing less). Heres my results:

packages (on arch linux probably not a very good way...

Well it could be because ifconfig on my box doesn't return all my network interfaces...

What does ifconfig eth0 display?

Can you ping a website? ( ping www.google.com )

its a bios problem so that obviously wont work.

rm *.<extension>

Why did it post three times??!?

edit

I think you can use the dd command...joeprogrammer seems to be the expert on the matter...

I think its the same as using your harddrive. On my dads computer I have linux installed on an external harddrive w/ grub being on the main one. But people install grub to all sorts of things like...
