"Unix in a Nutshell" and" Linux in a Nutshell" (O'Reilly Press) are good for reference, and can be found 2nd hand for very little.
Basically you learn by doing. Get in there and try things. And...

Well, yes, I'm afraid I did use some of that sort of language.

Hi all,
This problem is solved, I'm only posting this in the hope that it may help others.
A while ago, after no updates/changes that I was aware of, my system stopped booting, and gave me:

Have you considered using a totally libre (no proprietary stuff whatever) OS (Trisquel, Musix . . .) or a libre kernel?

If you allow 10G per system, with all data in directories at the end of the HD, this limits you to about 140 distros per HD. For me, this is not a problem.
By the way, is there a "doctored" version...

@trilarian
You mean my fluffy penguin?
Wow! I thought I was bad.
I used grub2 for a year or two in the MBR, not without a good deal of gnashing of teeth. In the end, I had it (sort of) tamed, by...

Well, actually, I think I'm a bit unfair about grub2. After all, it is impeccably free, in both senses, and it does work, ie it boots things. If grub1 didn't exist, we'd all be delighted to have...
-
Ha! Solved. :):)
Copied everything over from Maverick, and ran grub-install from Maverick. Of course, when I tried booting in the normal way, the sdb5 (Debian) boot sector pointed to...

Thanks for the reply, Saikee.

I think I did this, but I'm not too sure now, so this may have been the problem. I'll try it again, and report.
Both versions of legacy grub from Ubuntu were...

Hi all,
I'm having a little trouble getting Debian Squeeze to boot by chainloading, since I converted it from ext3 to ext4. I use legacy grub for both MBR (points to Ubuntu Lucid in sda1) and the...

Fair enough. It's a semantic issue, and you're probably right.
This might be another reason:(from an ars technica article)
I won't even buy a mouse with Microsoft on it.
-
I hope I haven't confused you.
You may never need it, but there are file systems (btrfs for instance) which cannot be used for Grub.
Of course 2 Linux - or 200 - can share data. It can cause...
-
I was under the impression that pretty much all the GNU basic tools - the stuff you find in /bin and /sbin were reverse engineered from Unix, hence the acronym. So it's not an issue of principle, so...

1 Size required depends on your use.
2 "/" is the sign for the "root" directory: the one that contains everything, ie all the other directories, in a Linux OS. Not to be confused with "root" who...
-
Thanks for the reply.
When I tried this, I got "hard link not allowed for directory" - which is about what I expected.
I'm a bit embarrassed because I forgot that the last time I had the problem...
-
I don't know much about this, but have you looked in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online ?
The command
echo 0 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
can apparently be used to limit the cores...

Hi all,
Here's a small puzzle.
As a multibooter, I keep all my stuff on a separate partition which I access via symlinks in my home directory. For instance, .mozilla --> /SDA4/guff/.mozilla....
-
Thanks for the replies.
@ JohnT: Yes, I have BootInfoScript - but I already knew what is in the /boot folders, and what is in fstab and menu.lst, so I didn't use it. And I don't quite see how...

Hi all,
I've just managed to boot a linux distro with a kernel which doesn't belong to it. Is this a freak?
Last night I wanted to boot a recently installed Ubuntu maverick using a Grub (0.97)...
-
Good that it's working again.
Just happened to read an old post of yours where you say:
You can do the same thing with .mozilla as I suggested above for .evolution - keep it in a data partition,...
-
Hi irlandes,
Here's a possible quick and dirty fix.
Apparently you are multibooting. If you haven't done this already, make a data partition and put an entry in /etc/fstab for it in each Linux...

Saikee,
Thanks for the reply. I asked because doing this has fixed strange things for me in other distros. I have no knowledge of RHEL or selinux, but I thought the selinux config file might have...
-
I wonder if you could have got there by booting in single user mode and then changing the passwords (including the root password) with passwd?
-
Hi,
Another way is to use tar as described in the first post in this how-to thread This can be used if you don't have a back up partition the same size as the original. Because of the compression...
