    If someone asks you to sudo rm -rf anything, don't do it, and don't run any command with rm in it unless you know exactly what you're doing.things i have learnt changing from Xp pro to Ubuntu

    Re: currently taking mandriva 2009 one for a spin

    got my i865 going, i forgot im a registered user of linux turbo print so installed the demo version, it will do for the time being




    a question about hard drive partitioning

    i did read a tutorial on how to install mandriva to a sub stick, not that i want it on a usb memeory stick

    but the tutorial mentioned you should just install the ext 3 system on the usb stick and thats it

    whe i installed mandriva 2009 one to my 20 gig hdd i just kept cliking on add partition and it created about 4 or 5 partitions

    cna i just do a custom partition and set it to etx3 and it will setup its own swap directory and the rest like the usb setup or what??? i assume it would be ok

    got the printer working, thanks to this

    http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2009.0_Errata

    Printer configuration tool not installed by default in One editions

    See also Bug #43635. The new printer configuration tool, system-config-printer, is not installed by default when installing a One edition of Mandriva Linux 2009. This means there is no available option to configure a printer. To resolve this problem, simply use the Mandriva software management tools to install the system-config-printer package. After doing so, the printer configuration tool will be available in the Mandriva Control Center, in the Hardware tab.

    Re: currently taking mandriva 2009 one for a spin

    well, after carefull reading and experimenting, i decided to do a customhard drive partitioning and setup a swap of 2.2 gig and gave everything else to etx3 and let mandriva 2009 install itself

    much better... now i have 14 gig free for me to tinker with then the 5 gig i had before on my 20 gig hdd

    Not to be annoying you or anything, but wouldn't these questions be better asked on the Mandriva forums?
    forum.mandriva.com
    I never needed to use a PDF printer, so I wouldn't know, sorry.

    that's OK if stinger asks in this forum. that's what it's here for. but it seems he is doing a great job of figuring things out for himself. =D> i wish more people had the motivation that stinger does. good job.

    some people ask questions like: "where do i download ubuntu from?" good luck installing it.
