This looks good, but will the Win 7 installation disk boot on a modern computer? It's MBR, not UEFI. I notice the author keeps talking about Win 10. I guess I may have to try that.

Thanks, TheFu. The link to wiki.freedos.org looks like what I need. I feel so dumb for not finding it. Chapter 6 explains how to mount a virtual hard drive on the host computer (for Windows, MAC, and...
Well, it's actually FreeDOS, which is still being supported. I've given up on being able to install DOS to a USB stick. Now I just want to learn how to install files to it. And I use LibreOffice for...
I already have a 1TB external drive (Western Digital) on my PC for backup. It runs fine from the USB port. Does an SSD use more power than a HDD?
I've already installed DOSBox, because I want to run these games anyway, and I used to run them in DOSBox on Windows. But let's say I want to learn to use Wordperfect in DOS. How would I install the...
I've been searching for three days and haven't found an answer. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04, I've created a VirtualBox and installed FreeDOS into it. I can boot FreeDOS in the VM, and I've downloaded...
I have several USB sticks, ranging from 16GB to 256GB. I don't know where I could buy a smaller USB stick these days. I would like to buy a 1 Terabyte stick, but they're currently too unreliable, and...
Now THAT'S interesting. I'll have to give it a try. Thank you for the visual. It's very helpful.
Yes, several years ago I tried running Microsoft Train Simulator in a virtualbox vm with Windows 7 installed and it failed. Of course, the Linux was installed on a USB stick, and now I'm on the...
Alas, it's another Windows program. I'll have to see if it works under Wine, but I'm not hopeful. It's also slightly more complicated than Microsoft Train Simulator, and I used to try it out from...
Yes, I can install Windows 7 to VirtualBox, but I can't run games there. I was hoping to be able to run Microsoft Train Simulater, but I guess I'll just have to miss it. Well, thank you for your help.
I've used Linux for many years, and exclusively for the last two. I'm currently running Ubuntu 22.04.3 There are a couple of games that don't work under Wine nor in a VM that I rather miss. I have...
Sounds like a good idea. Where/how do I find the log files for deja-dup?
It seems like every week backup reports that it failed. When I open the GUI, it says something like, "last backup 10 days ago." Why is deja-dup telling me that it failed? Is there something I need to...
This is a mere annoyance. Every time I scan a page in Document Scanner (simple-scan) when the scan completes it throws an error message:
Failed to scan.
Error communicating with scanner.
...
I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 and using simple-scan. I have a Canon G2010 all-purpose printer/scanner. When I scan documents into multi-page .pdf files, after each page is (successfully) scanned, an error...
Yeah, it was only $6 (฿199), and I figured on just throwing it away, but after I posted above I ran fsck.ext4 again, and this time it actually worked. I'll try again tomorrow to install Kali Linux. I...
I bought a cheap USB 3.0 2TB thumb drive and tried to install Kali Linux on it. Failed on partitioning. e2fsck says there's a bad magic number in the superblock. Trying alternate superblocks doesn't...
Thanks for your help. I'll take a look at it. I'm not really interested in using keyboard shortcuts. With Adobe Reader CD I used the buttons on the GUI. Come to think of it, keyboard shortcuts would...
I see Adobe Reader DC is not recommended any more. I'm coming from Windows, where it was my goto PDF reader. Evince is OK, but it doesn't have a page up or down button. The Page Up and Page Down keys...
Yeah, that's where they were. There was a long path to the icons, but I'm so glad to finally be rid of them. Thanks a lot.
Nope, not in either one. /usr/share/icons looks like the names of themes for ubuntu. Thanks, anyway.
Alas, the only snap I have installed is Firefox. The icons I want to remove are from a program I installed from a DVD.
I've just newly installed ubuntu 22.04.1, completed restoring my data, and am now in the process of reinstalling the programs. I have, in my Applications window, six icons from a Windows program I...
I've never used Haskell, but it looked interesting, so I installed the tools on my Ubuntu 22.04. When I compiled the "hello, world" program, I got error messages indicating that the linker in gcc had...
