    Linux to Windows

    For a start: The direction is SAMBA http://www.samba.org/ You will find plenty of information about it on the web. Maybe it is already enough to install and configure it with your dsitribution.

    swap drive off maybe?

    As far as I understand you, you want linux to use more swap space instead of memory - Actually linux will use nearly all of your memory before it will use the swap. This is intended because swap space is much slower then RAM and it would slow down your system enormously if swap space would be used more than it is now. The terminal problem surely is not related to swap space usage.

    wine

    Run wine with the app as parameter e.g. wine "c:\\Programme\\Context\\Context.exe" or wine /mnt/windows/Programme/Context/Context.exe ( I hope I have not made a mistake - running Windows and can't try - however this is the way it works for me with a well configured wine )
  5. A library can not be run on its own. A library contains functions which are then called by an application. An example is gtk+ ( e.g. libgtk-*.so ). It is a library containig all the functions required to create, draw and use widgets - but to use them you have to write an application. So gtk+ applications use the function-library gtk+. If you want to know on which libraries an app depends try > ldd path/app I hope this helps and sorry if I misunderstood your question.

    Grub/Windows Reinstall

    I found a tutorial to create a boot disk : http://www.desktop-linux.net/grub.htm and maybe > grub-install /dev/hda will be enough to reinstall grub.

    Grub/Windows Reinstall

    First you have to boot your Linux partition - I am sure that it is possible to create a boot disk with RedHat, maybe someone else can post how to create it. Or you can use loadlin http://elserv.ffm.fgan.de/~lermen/ ( Be careful - there is an image of a crazy looking guy ) With this tool you may launch linux from Windows. But for this purpose you will need to put a copy of the kernel onto a windows accessible partition : http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm Use the above tool Explore2fs to copy the kernel from /boot/bzImage-2.4.xxx to a windows partition and then use something like loadlin bzImage /dev/hda2 vga=773 the partition has to be the one of your linux system. However, once you are back in linux you have to reinstall grub : > grub > root (hd1,0) > setup (hd0) You have to adjust the paths ! You will find some more info here: http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3033&highlight=grub Another way of keeping windows and linux boot loaders separate is to install the linux boot loader on the second disc and tell your bios to boot off the second disc. This way windows will still overwrite the boot sector of the first disc, but due to the fact that you boot off the second disc you needn't care any more.

    Quote: I do have a CR-Writer... Do I have to drag it over into the CD? BTW, I'm using XP. Or should I use some special program that will translate evrything? Any idea? Also, does this CD image makes the CD bootable? Thanks.... I do not have XP, so I don't know its abilities concerning CD burning, but probably you need additional software - this should have come with your cd writer. If you don't have this software you can search the web for "CD burning freeware". O.K I have just done it so take a look at http://www.webattack.com/Freeware/gmm/fwcdburn.shtml. There you'll find CDBurnerXP Pro which looks promising - burns iso and is free. Yes, the CD will be bootable - simply enable boot off CD in your BIOS.

    installing Eclipse on Linux

    I don't know which version of Eclipse you downloaded - You should download the gtk binary version and try to run it without the "-ws motif" option. And you only need the runtime, not the SDK of Eclipse. And I don't know if it depends on a more recent java version ( 1.4.1 is the stable version ). And as long as you are not going to develop in java you only need the java runtime ( JRE ). However the work is worth it IMO - Eclipse is a really nice IDE. Don't forget that you need the eclipse-jdt ( Java ) and / or the elipse-cdt ( C / C++ ) plugins to develop for these languages. You can find them on the eclipse homepage. But try to get eclipse to work without the plugins first, then install the plugins.

    Its an CD image - You have to burn it to a CD using a burning app that came with your CD writer ( I hope you have one ) - otherwise you should ask someone to burn it for you. Or you have to find a company selling cheap CDs ( Knoppix does ).
  13. In a recent version there should be an "Import" menu entry to import an Outlook Express mailbox ( Evolution 1.3.2 )
