    ;( Help! ;(

     

    I have finnaly got to install Kanotix on my Gateway. So I decided to install it on my Dell. I was able to partition but I am not able to install Kanotix on the partition. I resized my 70 GB partition for windows to 60 GB. Then I clicked on the Partition, The new partition from the windows partition, to create but I can't. It is all greyed-out. How do I install Kantix on that partition.

     

     

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    I am still with the same disc but i think i am getting further. It starts to install but never does. Here is the kernal log:

     

    I/O error on device hdc, logical block 313638.

     

    Is there a way i can get the missing file that it needs. Or am I out of luck. The Ebay was supposed to send me the disc last Monday, but he might mail it tomorrow. I am not going to hold my breath on it. Any replies would be nice.

     

    Thanks,

    I want to make room for linux. My father just paid a $100 for xp so he wants to keep it. I finnaly got it to get where you can resize the drive and create partitions. But when you click commint it gives an error. In root it show this error "Unable to allign partitions properly". Then there is Error "780481 clusters instead of 7480485 clusters like the app. said". Am i doing the install wrong? I type sudo kanotix-install in the Shell. This is the first time I tried to install linux on a computer.

     

    Thanks,

    If you have been on google news you might have seen the story "Google: Hacker's best friend". If you read the story on fool.com read this passage again.

     

    "...Some reports claim that Linux, the open-source operating system peddled by dozens of outfits, including Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT), Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: SUNW), and IBM (NYSE: IBM), is already the world's most oft-breached OS, comprising 65% of security compromises compared to Windows' 25%."

     

    Can some one show me where you get reports like this. Less than 25% of the computers in America don't even run Linux. Almost all reports on trojans, worms and viruses happen on computers that run windows. Can some one prove me wrong on this. Also, the guy who write this uses Yahoo. Any OS can have problems but less on Linux OS because they have to have special virus and worms written for Linux. I will leave you a link so you can read the whole story.

    Please reply,

    Stephen

    I have had it for about an month. It is not very old. The CDs i bought where "Home Burned". The burn is compatible with my computer cause i can read the disc. Although the Disc has a defected place on the edge of the disc. I have contacted the seller and have not gotten a responce yet. I do not have High-Speed internet so I can not download the CDs myself. Do you know where I could get some CDs cheap.

     

    Thanks,

    ;( HELP! ;(

     

    I was able to boot from the CD. Then i went and press enter to install Linux Mandrake 10.1. It starts to install. It detects USB and the get about 40% on the status bar when it says "Loading program into memory...". I went and looked at the logs. I saw some errors. like "File-not-found-in-archive-kebdeuko" and a missing file in sysroot\tmp\install\stage2\mdrinst_stage2.bz2" Does this mean that i am missing a file on my CD. If so where can i download.

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    I am having trouble installing Linux Mandrake 10.1. The autorun file gives an error saying that the autorun file is not a valid win 32 App. Is there a way i can fix this. I bought the CD from Ebay instead of downloading it. Was it His fault or do I need a different File?

    Thanks,

    Stephen
