I run the appropriate command (I think) and I get: connection timed out

 

Networks...argh

 

Not sure where to go from here.

 

you need to open the firewall on Mandriva for ssh.

in the MCC under Security you can find 'configure your firewall'.

Just enable ssh and leave everything else untouched.

Also you might have to start the ssh-server (or even install it if you don't have it installed).

The package is openssh-server, to start it do the following as root:

service sshd start

I enable the ssh in the firewall as you suggested.

I get

 

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.3 port 22: Connection refused

 

so then on my mandriva box I

 

[root@localhost matthew]# service sshd start
Cannot find sshd service

 

Edit: Oops, I dont have ssh-server installed. I will install it once this massive kde updates finishes.

ok, installed ssh-server and then service sshd start.

 

Ran my command to dd over to the mandriva box, it asks for my password then nothing. Just returns to the prompt.

 

I even

mkdir /media/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1

 

and the original command still didn't work...Should I be using /media/sda1 in the dd command? Is /media/sda1 identical to /dev/sda1 in that the partition size (and hence it's unused size) is carried over?

 

I'm still so newb at this stuff.

 

Edit: It helps to type the command properly. I was missing the "of"

Copied over in full it seems. Now ill burn a copy.

Ok, its all sorted. I have a fresh install of UNR (Ubuntu Netbook Remix) on my Aspire. I decided upon:

Leaving the original xp recovery partition 5gb

Xp partition 40gb

swap partition 1gb

/ partition 20gb

/ home 30gb

 

Thanks all.
