-Neocytrix

Hello again everyone,

Can someone give me a link to download Linux from Scratch? I went to their site but im a bit confused as to what im looking for, am I looking for an iso? if not what am I looking for?

-Neocytrix

Wow, it sounds like Linux from scratch is the way I should go then :D . Ill give that a try. Thanks everyone :lol:

-Neocytrix

I think ill try slackware or suse, ill look into it though thanks :D

I don't want anything to do with redhat. Can someone tell me how hard it would be to learn Slackware, SuSe, Gentoo, and freeBSD? Whats the easiest out of those, whats the hardest?

-Neocytrix

Hehe maybe ill try that. Im going to do more research on distros so if anyone else wants to recommend another keep em coming

Hello everyone,

I have been using and learning mandrake for quite some time now and I am now considering trying a different distrobution. Does anyone know a distrobution thats a little above a noob level but not hard to install and configure?

-Neocytrix

We have no idea how the thing got messed up, when you boot up without a CD in it, you just see a black screen with a blinking curser, when you boot up with the XP CD you can't get passed the hardware detection part, and when you go to install Linux you can install but the bootloader never works, I tried that rescue option already, but no luck

Hello everyone,

Im trying to get a computer that has Windows and Linux on two seperate partitions, however, after I install and configure Lilo a black screen comes up when I try to reboot with just an "L" on it. Furthermore, I tried to put in the Windows CD and that won't even get past trying to detect hardware, any suggestions?

Hello everyone,

Im just starting to use/learn C++, and when I compile a script it says "Press enter to continue" it looks like Kdevelop put the line in and I couldn't find an option to take it out. Thanks :D

-Neocytrix

I don't know, I reinstalled again and I have everything working, im going to redownload the ISO's again and burn them incase I need them again. Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I was having a bunch of problems with Mandrake 10.0 community so I reinstalled it and now I can't install things off of the 2nd and 3rd cd, I go to the media to redo the cd's and the first one works, but the second one and third one both come back with errors. Anything helps

-Neocytrix

It still didn't work it return this error when I type "mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy"

mount: mount point /mnt/floppy does not exist

When I go to /mnt and type "ls" it comes back with this

cdrom0/  disc0part1/  livecd/  ramdisk/

-Neocytrix

Thanks, you seem to be helping me a lot lately lol. :D

Hello all,

Is there a command I can run in the terminal to trace an IP, similar to "tracert" in DOS?

-Neocytrix

Thanks, I'll let you know how it went as soon as I get to school in the morning.

-Neocytrix

Hello everyone,

I am starting to use SLAX, based off of SLACKWARE linux, its different from Mandrake, which im used to. lol I need to know how to switch to the floppy drive in the terminal in SLAX. Im sure any of you can answer this in 2 seconds.

-Neocytrix

Hello,

Does anyone know any good MP3 rippers for linux, so I can take music off of an audio CD to put on my HD. Thanks

-Neocytrix

I think Neorion should just download the ISO's and burn them himself . I also know your having problems with installing software, go to MCC>software manager>media manager> and delete all the entries there, then go to add and choose "removable media" and go to the path of your cdrom (ex. /mnt/cdrom) and just add the three sources again

-Neocytrix

Its in your package manager, go to the software installer and type gtk for the search. Install all of the packages and you should be good to go.

-Neocytrix

Works like a charm THANK YOU SO MUCH! :D :D

I installed using the update option and it works fine, I just wanted to thank you for your help :D
