ninjageek Posted April 26, 2008 CID Share Posted April 26, 2008 Ok I have lynix installed on my slave, its kubuntu, Im using the kde desktop, and sometimes the other one (I can never rember that name!!) Chose this one just to learn, and boy and girls have I learned. Took me a couple of days just to figure out how to back it up, (Norton Ghost 14!! Tried and works without a hitch) In kde I for the life of me can not find out how to access my computer harddrives, you know like on xp you just click on (my computer icon) I would love to know how to change the boot order as well. Wanna boot xp by default (ol lady and kids) . I know there are 2 options (startup manager for ubuntu which I can not find and figure out how to install) And you can edit from the command line, just not sure how?? I am using ubuntu 7.02?? I think?? The 7.10 version would just not behave on my computer. And the 8.04 same thing. It had problems with my nividia drivers. This version of lynux is just a learning tool. Its stable and runs ok. Playing with both desktops. Kde and the other one I can never rember the name. Learning lots. Lots more to learn. Backing up and restoring was my first big hurdle. I can do that now. Thanks to nortons ghost. Few weeks Im gonna pop opensuse on my slave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted April 26, 2008 CID Share Posted April 26, 2008 First off, goto " places on the top left corner of the desktop, then look down , you should see your HD as say 80.5 Media. Or you could look in " file browser", there are many different ways to see your file. What bootloader did you choose, I hope it was "grub" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
