  1. Hello everyone, I have noticed that when I select what type of session I log into (gnome, kde, etc) I can also select the langauge, I was wondering if there was a way to install and use the Italian language, but have the option to use either english or italian. Thank you -Neocytrix
  2. Hello all, I have been trying to make my windows drive accessable from my user account. However, everytime I try to open it, a message box pops up and says that I don't have sufficient privilages. So I log on as root and when I got to change the privilages, it says that it cannot change the permissions. Below is a copy of my fstab file. # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,auto 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,auto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs rw,user,auto 0 0 Any help would be appreciated, im completely stumped. -neocytrix
  3. Hello everyone, I am trying to install the Java compiler onto my Debian system. I downloaded a file called . Can someone please enlighten me on how I would go about installing this type of file. I thought I had done it before using something like but all I get with that isj2eesdk-1_4_03-linux.bin: cannot execute binary file . Any help is greatly appreciated -Neocytrix
  4. Got it!!!! Thank you so much to everyone who helped me with this problem. I really appreciate it :-)
  5. Okay I changed it to what you wanted and now I get the option menu :D But I still can't boot Windows, it says unexpected EOF, Does this mean that maybe theres a syntax error in my lilo.conf? neocytrix

  7. Okay I think I changed it but it still just boots linux without giving me the option to boot windows.

  8. Hello Again, When installing Debian, grub for some reason failed, and I was forced to install Lilo. However, now I can only boot into Linux(I have a dual boot system with Windows XP) Where could I edit lilo to reconize and give me the option to boot windows? Neocytrix
  9. Hello all, I just recently installed the newest version of debian(testing) and everytime I go to use "apt-get", it confirms how much disk space will be taken up after unpacking, then I get the following: Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20060810)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter Where do I get this CD, and why haven't I ever needed it before with Debian? Thanks Neocytrix
  10. Hello All, I am running both Windows XP pro and Debian on the computer I am currently on. I recently formatted the Windows partition and since then, its booted right into Windows. Is there a way to only re-install the bootloader without having to do the whole OS? Thanks Neocytrix
  11. Hello all, I wanted to install limewire on my debian system. I downloaded software called alien and installed limewire with it. However, when I go to run it, I get the following: Starting LimeWire... Java exec found in PATH. Verifying... OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE. LimeWire works best with Sun JRE available at http://www.java.com OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/lib/ hierarchy You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com ls: /usr/java/j*: No such file or directory OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/java/ hierarchy You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com ls: /opt/j*: No such file or directory OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /opt/ hierarchy You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com Now when I type java -version, it returns that I have java version 1.4.2. I have no idea what to do. Thanks -neocytrix
  12. Hello again, I was wondering if there was a way that I can make it so I have to click icons twice, instead of just once.

  17. Hello all, I have most of my newly installed debian working however, I cannot find out how to mount my windows drive to get some information off of it from Debian. Below is a copy of my FSTAB # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 ~ How would I even go about doing this? Is it even possible? Grazie Mille Neocytrix
  18. Okay ill give it a shot. Im sure you'll be hearing from me again lol. Thanks all

  20. Hello all, I've installed Debian and it installed smoothly and everything, except when the graphical environment loads, the colors and pixels are all messed up on the screen, It looks (grainy) if that helps, and color quality is very poor, When I go to the configure desktop, it says the resolution is set to 640 X 480 (even after I said it was 1024 X 768 (or whatever the standard size is for most). However, this isn't even an option on the drag down menu, there is only 640 X 480, 416 X 312, 400 X 300, and 320 X 240. Someone please help me -Neocytrix
  21. Thank you all very much. I think im going to try debian, then maybe down the road ill try slackware. Thanks again. -neocytrix
