you do realise that xp built in cd burning doesnt handle dvd burning very well (if at all)

hello and welcome to daniweb!

what OS do you have, win98?

Guess what this means in english: CLUE: Its a stanza froma a poem (its not in the correct lines) [COLOR=maroon]Ayta seemes ohnaelye yeahstaeredeahye Ay ewsede taoh beeelayevee taeheree weahs naohtaehaynaje ewnadeere meye skaayna ohfe elayjeehta.

do you have win98? you need extra software

lol that phising filter told me a part of debian.org was suspicious lol

Ok, ive done lfs before bu tnever used raedhat that much. Can i get all the RHEL srpm's and errata then just build them into a chroot environment/ How?

depends on the distro if its redhat/fedora its service XXXX restart

RAM is the most important and so is graphics card I play BF2 on all medium settings at 1024x768 on 1gb ram, 3ghz cpu, 256m GFX card

this happened on my dads box as the mobo wasnt on the foam so it was shorting by touching the metal sides of the case

do a gogle for crucial ram (i think its uk only but it has a wizardm you tell it your pc model and it tells you whether you need matching sticks or not and how many slots you have and whats the max ram you can have)

you need them both

IE7's new phishing filter makes things slow, turn it off

for £90 or so get the upgrade version of xp home and it will keep your files this works on 98se and i think 98 as well

hey, can you boot linux from XP's bootloader?

i play bf2 alot, get enough RAM so you never need swap again (over 1 gb) and get a 512mb gfx card and make sure you have a 3ghz or over cpu and a fast gigabit NIC

df -H shows parition space

i got a dell laptop and use dell laptops at school, perfect for buisness stuff (like ibm but cheaper) but suck at games etc..... im not worried about batteries its no new thing my thinkpad nearly caught fire many a time and ive had it since 1998

uhh xp wizard installs the QoS protocol on all machines and i found that slows things down

the reason everything is bigger is you need to turn up the resolution (display settings)

ive never had a problem with the ads. there relevant and there not the flyout or timed types that drive you crazy (i think there worth more so thanks for not putting these on dani) Never had lag here and ive got dial up on a 20mhz at the minute …

how much without the monitor? id pick it up without the monitor for £50 but if thats too little for you thats ok. I could also part exchange for various semi-working systems

will windows run on 640 of ram?

by the way XP home has no passwords

Nooooooooooooo i have XP home and cant do my ICT Coutsework cos no stupid IIS ahhhhhhhh i need it for ASP.NET and my one server system, nt4 do it either ah!

is that the one that looks like the original ibm pc and has 5.25 disk drives? we have one from the 80s but im not in the US

how much for all 3 and the psus/cards? are oses included can you ship to the UK?

video editing / games are not possible for under £799 at least as laptop gfx cards are crap

FOREWARD: moderators, please read what i am saying before you yell "piracy is bad" at me......... My windows 98 media was destroyed but i still have all the COA and keys etc..... Would it be legal for me to procure a pirated version of 98 and use my (legally acquired) …

I have a server, 64mb RAM, 233mhz PII with 3x 2.1GB hdd's, cdrom drive and LAN card. Can anyone reccomend a distro which will be suitable for turning this machine into a file server (SMB or FTP) for my network. It must have a GUI - although this doesnt nececirally …

also some people say 1gb = 1000mb and others say its 1024mb (which is correct as there are 8 bits in a byte, not 10)

may be the isp. i got ntl and the dns / dhcp server dies al the time

i have pocketputty and can ssh into my server. How can i get an x session?

it means your gfx card and/or cpu is overheating. Did you use thermal paste, heatsinks and fans and attatch them correctly? buy a new gfx card fan and you should be ok

under disk management there is a way to do it - i think you right click and theres some options. I think you need to make it active or something first through it or fdisk maybe

what is the exact error message? is the floppy formatted? right click and do format and select FAT 1.44mb

oem is cheap for that very reason it installs on one system configuration only. This is the same with store baught pcs - the preintsalled system wont work if you modify them alot. xp home oem is £60 here and the full is like £100 so yeah, its worth it

how great would a linux livecd for ps2 be?

You can buythe Proliant Essentials Pack but its not cheap.

Joeprogrammer: how much ram do u have and do u have an ATI or nvidia gfx card? These cards dont like linux that much and less than 384m RAM wont run ubuntu. I have an 8mb gfx card, 384mb ram and 600mhz CPU and it runs fine

Oh yeah what ram is it and what scsi/floppy is it - will it fit in a regular pc?

Ok, im 16 and in the UK. We have NTL 1mb Broadband and i have a router and an old server which has apache running on it (FC4). The server and broadband are slow (266mhz and 1mb) but it will at max have 2 or 3 people visting it each …

What is better, Solaris Express or Solaris 10? Is it like fedora/rhel

it means that XP thinks your motherboard doesnt support it - new drivers?

VPN is configured under control panel. I dont have windows 98 but i think its under Dial Up Networking and stuff. Also check out the settings for remote administration under users.

Windows 3.11 and NT 3.51 - Oh yeah........

yes go for it

joeprogrammer i do see your point that wine can be put on any distro, yes and that all dreamlinux is is a fancy GUI. i too was dubious about dreamlinux but after actually TRYING it i found a very bling distro with a solid foundation and good package selection. Wine …

What do you mean new updates? Home and pro have EXACTLY the same updates. I think you have been conned as unless you are on a big network there is no need for pro. If you want to go ahead, you need to tell your PC to bot from the …

if its ubuntu (linspire maybe too?) prefix every command you want to execute as root with sudu and enter your USER password or if another os use su and enter the ROOT password once to become root
