Sorry...

Virtualbox run under linux, and winXP in a virtual machine . The virtual machine configuration need a WinXP iso image . Actually my XP is in its " C" partition (or disk...) .

To configure a Windows virtual machine for Virtualbox an iso file image is needed .

How can I build an iso from my Windows ?

Thanks.

...instead of on MBR is an installation option .

But how can be done a boot when bios read on the first track of the first disk ?

Thanks a lot.

I've called my ISP for DNS numbers ...and thjis has solved..

I've never had this problem....shouldn't DHP do it automatically ?

About your test , I'm not sure to get it .....do you mean this >>>

[root@localhost lando]# dig @192.168.1.1 linux.org

bash: dig: command not found

Sorry , I don't understand...may you give me more deatails ?

Thanks a lot.

I've installed MDV One on HD after many problems...

Now it works but the internet connections are very slow ( download speed are normal ,fine..) .

I 've an Adsl ethernet line . A normal modem ( not a router...) .

I 've done the adsl-setup installation procedure then I do pppoe-start to start ppp .

Below the menu.lst where I 've added " noapic nolapic pci=noacpi " to see if MDV 2008 can boot !

I've added these boot parameters using MDV One live but now I have to record the bootloader in MBR....I think to do a chroot to the / then with Grub command ( that I cannot understand what it is...) write on MBR the loader... With lilo was used this procedure....Can I do it with grub ?

Thanks a lot.

I've written a map.lst , now to write a bootloader in MBR what have I to do ?

What is the command to do it ?

Thanks.

Did you try disabling ACPI? e.g. by adding the arguments

noapic nolapic acpi=off

at the grub command prompt?

Do you detail how can be done ? I don 't know grub command prompt .I see F6 that show boot options

but I cannot add these options.......

Many thanks

I cannot install MDV 2008 ! DVD , 3 CD , MDV one ...none can install MDV on HD !

Only MDV one Live works !

It seems a bootloader problem , many kernel module fails because of EIP (0000000) .

Then boot stops as I 've written before.

What can I do ? :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Many thanks.

...doesn't boot !

I've reinstalled it two times without success !

It stops boot , the log shows

" Hal demon failed to start "

"Alsa is executing "

" mixer settings are OK "

...now the cursor is blinking.... and the boot stops...

MDV ONE works.....

What could be ?

I've not done an .iso file checksum ....now how can I do these checks

on the CD ( I've no more files on hD ) ?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.

> It will restore/repair the MBR of windows up to XP, but not Vista,.....

Is it in working MBR repair for Vista ?

>Windows:

>* Fix Boot of Windows

>* Boot Windows

>* Boot Windows on a second hard disk

>* Boot Windows on a second partition

Does it boot also on a USB external HD ? ( ...also for Linux...)

Thanks in advance .

Super Grub Disk. It will fix grub, boot partitions, and a few other things.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS >>>>>

"""" Select the appropriate Super Grub Menu option

Super Grub Disk's English Menu has four options plus the Quit menu.

The first two options are for those who like things quick and easy,

Gnu/Linux is for computers with a single hard disk and just one or two operating systems when you want to boot Linux or install your Linux's GRUB boot loader to MBR.

Windows is for computers with a single hard disk and just one or two operating systems when you want to boot Windows, or install your Windows's NTLDR boot loader to MBR.""""

What do they mean ? ...that if I ' d stop MDV 2008 installation without doing the "bootloader step" .......I could boot MDV using SuperGrubDisk ?

It would be fine !

Thanks , I 've no more a floppy on my new PC , but only a CD .

May be this the problem ? cannot they record on a CD ?

I 'll install MDV 2008. I'm told that Lilo is dead ...and Grub is to be used .

I don't know Grub .... Can bootloader be recorded on CD ?

Where is a Grub tutorial easy and complete (with samples ) ?

Thanks a lot.

Does your screen resolution and font size allow it to fit?

Decreasing the character size I get 130 columns x line...but I hardly read them.....

I thought that an orizontal scrolling bar will allow to have normal size...... :unsure:

I cannot set my console to 120 columns x line .

Is it a bug (Mandriva 2007 .0 ).?

Many thanks

http:// is not FTP... although a few FTP clients do manage http downloads as well.

I've a web space that I address as the browser does......I would upload data to my

web space .

ftp geocities.com/xxxini

and I get >>>>>>

ftp: geocities.com/xxxini: unknown host

It's my first time that I try to work with this tool.

And I get "unknown host" about a web location addressed with http://geocities....

How have to be addressed the sites with ftp ?

Many thanks

Open a console, and try

unzip -t package.zip

... or whatever the zip filename is.

Do you get any error messages?

lando@localhost LIBRERIA]$ unzip -t Uninettuno.zip

unzip: cannot find or open Uninettuno.zip, Uninettuno.zip.zip or Uninettuno.zip.ZIP.

Unzip cannot found it....!

I've copied to a windows partition where "Unzip" has unzipped

the file and now there are 256 .asf files.

...cannot unzip a big file (3.5 GB) containing 255 *.asf files .

Are there known problems ?

Thanks a lot.

regards.

I 've reinstalled shorewall , then service restart.....and everything work fine !

Your statements then were right .... maybe service restart is not enough...I don't

know !

The online tests work fine and the ID is high .

Many thanks.

Hi scoonma ,

my problem is low ID ( the message is Kad firewalled....) then very slow downloads.

I've tried to uninstall shorewall (..then no firewall) but the problem is still the same !

I am not behind a router ...only a simple modem on a 2 MB adsl line .

....no reply from www.amule.org forum ......

Thanks.I 've changed loc with $FW and the restart is OK.

The output in "service -s " is >>>

ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:4662

ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpts:4662:4665

ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:4672

But the test in http://www.amule.org/testport.php

fails and says >>>>>

Error: TCP port 4662 is unavailable. Make sure your firewall or router is allowing/forwarding this TCP service port and your ED2K client is running (i.e. aMule, eMule).

Detailed Error Message

TCP Error 110 Connection refused

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot
