Linux on Mac?

Posted on January 11, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

hi all, got a major problemo here, i ran a SUSE Linux live cd on a friend’s mac. it worked quite fine when i tried returning to the mac OS the system gave me the following message “Cannot find Bootable Device”, which is strange cos the Mac OS was running just fine befor i restarted the system for the Linux live cd. the only thing i know i did was direct the Mac to use the CD-ROM as the first bootable device, i did this within the OS itself, i guess that’s what’s giving me problems. please how do i reverse the process.
Mean while i want to install Linux on the Mac, will it affect the files on the system.

network problem with Fedora 7 – networking works on live cd but not after install?

Posted on November 15, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

This is on a laptop with realtek wired network interface and intel pro 2000 wireless interface. Networking all works fine on the live cd. After the livecd has been installed the networking won’t work – can’t activate the wireless card, wired interface says it is activated but won’t work and the network manager icon does not show in the system tray. I’m a linux newbie, and after searching for a while I’m stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks for your reply, I’ve tried your suggestions. Restarting the network wouldn’t work, but after disabling the network manager and rebooting at least the wired interface is now working. However how would I use the wireless interface with WPA if the network manager tray icon is not there to enter WPA keys?

Knoppix 5.1.1 Live CD and Internet Connection?

Posted on May 13, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I am trying to figure out if I can connect to the internet via Knoppix 5.1.1 live cd. Everything seems to boot just fine, and during bootup it says that eth0 and DHCP is detected. I tried to configure kwlan, but apparently I am doing it incorrectly or it isn’t possible. I am new to Knoppix and Linux and so I am not very sure. My network seems to show up in kwlan, I clicked the “Activate” button, but I cannot get online. I have no firewall. I am trying to connect with a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN – Packet Scheduler Miniport. Any ideas?
