Switching from Windows to Linux need help?

Posted on July 17, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I am switching to Backtrack 3 from Linux. I downloaded the live and tried it out. I like it a lot better then windows. I couldn’t get it to use my built in wireless card in my laptop on the live cd. That was my only issue. I was wondering if that is because of the live cd or what would I need to do to get it to recognize it? I am new at using it so I think that is part of my problem.
I am a student in school for Information Technology. That is why I am using this Backtrack 3
realtek rtl8101e family pci-e fe nic

How do I dual boot Ubuntu 8.10 on a macbook using bootcamp? ?

Posted on July 1, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I made a partition using bootcamp and I booted the ubuntu 8.10 live cd. When I get to the partition part in the installation, it says it might delete the windows boot loader. Does linux think that this is the windows boot loader but it actually is the mac boot loader or am I doing everything right?

Posted on June 14, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I am trying to install Linux Ubuntu 7.10 in to a spare partition (drive d) in my laptop. There if 30GB free in dat partition and nothing else saved. However during Ubuntu installation, the Partition part, it would let select the drive and only allows me to use the entire hard drive, I’m not sure wat to do in manual partition manager either. (Live CD) Can anyone tell me a way of installing Ubuntu onto the spare partition without affecting the other partition at all.

The spare partition is ntfs format.
