Linux Live CDs

Posts Tagged ‘doesn’t’

Hey i was wondering what would be the most easiest way i could go about bridging a wireless connection to my ethernet port. Basically to get on xbox live because my windows crashed and doesnt start so im running a live linux cd of back track.a step by step tutorial would be greatly appreciated.My linux distro is backtrack 3 running on a live cd.

I’ve been trying to install various dists of linux on my old pc that doesnt have an OS on it [ubuntu,opensuse,fedora] none of them seem to work. I’ve been using Live Cd’s and am wondering do i need to use “installation cd’s” to install it on a computer without an operating system? If so can someone walk me through it [note* i only have blank cd's no blank dvds]

I have xp and vista dual boot, i never really used vista, i was on xp, and the lights flickerd and my comp turned off when it turned back on it loads but doesnt take me to the grub screen where i can choose what i want to open instead i think it tries to open vista and it just doest work and stays at the bios screen. I deleted the vista partition and it does the same thing. I want to return the boot settings so that it never knew vista was there http://www.istartedsomething.com/20060622/installing-and-uninstall-vista-beta-2-for-dual-boot-with-xp/ i found that website and i can do what it says under the uninstall part except that i can;t run xp to give it that command. Do i have to do this? Or can i just delete the files it says too.

If i need to give xp that command is there a way to manually edit the boot files from a linux live cd?
XP was the main partition

just tried out the live cd 64 bit version of ubuntu 8.04 I think it is,but anyways the os doesnt pick up my logitech rumble pad 2 and my mandriva spring 2008.1 does.id really like to use ubuntu if it was compatible with my controller.any ideas how i can configuare the controller?thanks
my controller is logitech,and in other words anti linux,they will provide absolutely no support for linux

My computer doesnt have enough memory to run the live CD, is there anyway to just install it to the hard drive without previewing the linux via the live cd… i cannot download the alternate cd, it took way too long just to download the desktop cd…. could i perhaps use a usb pen drive to boost the system’s memory or something?
