  1. Re: Accessing files after iso-booting into OS using grub2

    The command executes fine, both (a) before mounting 'Acer' (my netbook) in Places, and (b) after (it produces some error code, but executes). Not surprisingly, before mounting, I only find iso disk...

    Re: Iso-booting 7.04

    Thanks for the feedback. I don't think that setting root to hd0,6 matters (sda6 is the right drive) - it should only affect how precisely to refer to the location of the iso image later.

  7. Re: Difference between programming in Windows and Ubuntu

    API=Application Programming Interface. When you ask your OS to execute a task, it expects you to ask in a form that it understands. This form, obviously, differs between Windows and Ubuntu.

  8. Re: Difference between programming in Windows and Ubuntu

    The core of languages is the same. Where you encounter differences is in how i/o is treated, and how API calls are executed. Assume you learn C using K/R. Then on this level - covering all of ANSI C...

    Re: xor eax,eax does not clear eax???

    If you want other reasons why XOR EAX, EAX is used as opposed to loading 0: in old school overflow attacks, you try to avoid having 0s in your script that you try to inject. Loading 0 into a register...
