Where can I download a “Linux Live CD” or anything that will work for the same purpose?

Posted on May 26, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

Hi, my computer has a probem where it wont get past the windows loading screen and it keeps restarting itself. Neither safe mode or going through repair mode with the windows cd works so far, so someone told me I should download a free “Linux Live Cd” so that I can boot off of it into my desktop so that I can save all of my family photos, important documents, and music onto a flash drive or a cd or something and then reinstall windows again. But, when I tried looking around I get to these company home pages where I have no clue what exactly it is that I’m downloading and none of which have the context “live cd” in them so I really want to make sure that it’s the right thing. Can anyone please direct me to the download page of what it is that I am looking for? Any help would be much appreciated as this is a very frustrating situation and I am on the verge of losing many important things that are dear to me, thanks alot!

Damn Small Linux and an HP Pavillion 6735?

Posted on December 2, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I started playing around with an old HP Pavilion 6735 and damn small linux. I tried to boot it up from the live CD as normal, it said “undefined mode number” so I just pressed space to skip, it started up but the graphics were all distorted and grainy.

Then I rebooted and used the boot cheat code: dsl 2
When it got to the terminal, I typed in: Xvesa -listmodes
The 2 best resolutions and color depths I got were: 800x600x16 and 1024x768x8
8 bit color depth is a little low, so I rebooted and used a cheatcode to boot it into 800x600x16. Everything went fine and the colors were perfect

My question is:
Is the reason the colors get distorted on default boot-up (1024x768x24) because my computer’s GPU can’t handle that resolution and color depth?
why doesn’t anyone answer when the question has to do with damn small linux?

I Have a PC Booting Problem?

Posted on October 28, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

Here is what happened. I found out about this thing called wubi so I installed it and it worked good. I installed beryl. I was having problems with screen resolution and frequency. So I edited the some file. Then I restarted my pc and when I select either Windows or Wubi the system stops working and restarts.I do not care about ubuntu. If I can not find a solution I will run a Linux Live CD, copy all my files tomy web server and MegaUpload. Then I will do system recovery. Is this the best solution. If there is a way to fix this please let me know. By the way I cannot boot windows in safe mode or any other mode. I would Really appreciate some help.
