  1. Re: Booting and installing Linux OSes from hard disk

    Thanks for your honesty, the problem is, as I thought, unetbootin's silly idea of what is a local hard drive/partition and what is a USB hard drive/letter. It thinks I have one of the former and none...
  2. Re: Booting and installing Linux OSes from hard disk

    Alright, this obviously seems like the wrong place for this discussion, any advice on where to take this?
  3. Re: Booting and installing Linux OSes from hard disk

    That's close but it doesn't solve problems with unetbootin, which I'm trying to spur here, and it doesn't push us toward a more universal solution for installing without external media.
  4. Re: Booting and installing Linux OSes from hard disk

    If this is not the right forum for this discussion, as evidenced by its quick departure from the front page of the forum, I would like a moderator to please correctly place it and/or inform me of who...
  5. Re: Booting and installing Linux OSes from hard disk

    While you or I may not have the solution at our fingertips, that doesn't mean it's not possible.

    And like I said, perhaps a Xen-enabled initial image of Linux would allow you to virtualize the...
  6. Booting and installing Linux OSes from hard disk

    I will be succinct, the information scattered on the internet is inconsistent, incomplete, and typically limited in utility on how to boot a Linux 'live' environment from disk or installing Linux...
  7. Re: HOWTO: Put a fully transparent shell on your desktop (requires Compiz-Fusion)

    Is there a way to put this below the icons, or enable Super+Left/Right to switch desktops (I have it set to rotate the cube left or right when no window is selected) when clicking on it?
  8. Poll: Re: LVPM: Upgrades Wubi installs to real Ubuntu installs with dedicated partitions

    In one of the branching statements you used
    $tdp = "string" instead of
    "$tdp" = "string".

    The rsync line takes an extremely long time and gives no indication of progress except reporting any...
  9. Poll: Re: LVPM: Upgrades Wubi installs to real Ubuntu installs with dedicated partitions

    I've run into some snags with booting into Vista still, but I think I'll have it worked out soon, after which I'll test your script.

    Does your script ask which partition to copy to or do I just...
  10. Poll: Re: LVPM: Upgrades Wubi installs to real Ubuntu installs with dedicated partitions

    Thank you for a concise reply and not being condescending, I really appreciate your support here.


    I'd only ask that you (a) make this an option for other users, and (b) (and I don't know the...
  11. Poll: Re: LVPM: Upgrades Wubi installs to real Ubuntu installs with dedicated partitions

    No CD-Rom drive on my laptop, so that turns what would, as you suggested, a ten minute fix, into a several hour search for ways to do the same on Vista from a USB Key.

    So, yeah.

    Please, PLEASE...
  12. Poll: Re: LVPM: Upgrades Wubi installs to real Ubuntu installs with dedicated partitions

    Unbootable. If the LVPM script fails partway through for any reason, attempting to restart it will result in another, more thoroughly failed execution (one would hope the operations it performed...
