Well, it turns out that since it was searching for a "U3 SmartDrive," wine would be unable to carry out that particular kind of emulation; wine doesn't so much do drivers. (I went on IRC to find out)...

I am trying to run a program in wine, and I need it to recognize my flash-drive's existance. Any help would be appreciated.

I did set e:: -> /dev/sda1 a couple of times, I also tried mounting it...

Alrighty, well I'll be doing that, however IceWeasel (GNUzilla's firefox) seems to be working quite well with my extensions. It checked their compatabilities with itself the first time it started up....

alright, well that might explain it, but I thought apt-get remove firefox would remove everything firefox, including the plugins. Doesn't it? and if it doesn't then how do I remove my plugins? I...

Alright, well here's my problem: Firefox no longer works on my debian system. Since I just switched to kde, I have Konqueror, but I had this problem before.

Everytime (or most of the time) when I...

*sigh* alright. I give up. I'll try to do things my way. Thanks anyway, guys. (and sos, for not getting too mad at me ^_^U)

well, It got a little bit of data when I do it that way, but still gave the same output after a few thousand bytes. I think it's a copy-protection thing. I don't know how to get around that though.

Alright, so I am trying to make an iso image of a playstation disc, so I can use it more effectively on my emulator, but everything I try, whether it be cat /dev/cdrom <...

well some say "This program is not supported by your current architecture"

Those are binaries, though. I usually can't get the source for them if I use a binary. Wine ran to some degree, but it...

well I did compile the source on my computer, which should put a compilation flag on it, but it didn't work.

Do I have to manually put it on?

hmmm are there any that support amd64 architectures? because I am really sick of all this no-64-bit-support bull.

hmmm... I wonder why wine didn't work, then...

Hey, any chance that building from the source always makes it usable on that type of architecture? And the distro differences are solved this way? because that would pretty cool.

However, the last...

The important part (windows part) is here:

Okay, I did some snooping around the interweb, and I found out that if you want this to work, you can't have GRUB on the Master Boot Record. because I have tried evrything. And that somehow makes...

ok. Well, I don't know what to say. I have tried to boot using every combination of the first ten digits in both sides of the comma. I never get a boot. What can ya do, huh? Seems like it just...

Well does anyone use codeblocks? because I don't think I could ever figure out how to install a nightly build. And Debian packages are really scarce on that site. The ones that do exist have been...

Well... Debian still works, but Windows will not. It doesn't matter what I numbers I put in (hd0,0) it still won't work. If I change the first number (which my professor told me was the partition...

Well, this part I left alone:

I had to install the GRUB boot loader to my MBS when I installed Debian 'etch'. This was because the Debian installer couldn't figure out that there was another operating system on the HDD. Now,...

Okay, just got into linux, and how does one go about doing C++ development in linux? Can one just use 'vi' to edit text, and then call the g++ compiler? Or does Debian come with a c++ environment? I...
