ok so its like this-ive got a test next week and the cd rom of my computer at school does not work so if this doesnt help im really screwed. so basically ive got a kubuntu live cd and a laptop and i want to know if i can make some minor modifications with the console module(rename folders, make new once etc) without installing that bullcrap on my laptop. 10x
ok im not going to install it. 2-nd option-can i make the same modifications on a usb memory drive, not on the cd.
I would like to use my Knoppix Live CD Linux distro at school, but it won’t detect the Internet connection through the school’s network. It can see other computers on the LAN just fine; it just can’t get on the Internet. I think it may have a problem to do with security, (our school uses Novell to manage network account access). For the record I’m going to point out that I do have permission to use the school’s Internet access; I’m not doing anything shifty. It’s just I don’t think Linux realizes that.
So, any ideas?

I have a new kid at school and he uses PCLinuxOS. I told him that he should use ubuntu or linux mint etc… He is most definitly a noob to linux. I want to give him the right distro. He hasn’t installed any distro yet he just uses the live cd for PCLINUXOS. Should I give him Ubuntu or Linux mint. I think i should give him ubuntu because it has the software center. It is visually apealing and well its popular and user friendly. However I do know Linux Mint comes with all codecs pre installed. This person doesn’t even know what an exe file is until i explained it to him today. He is however all for Linux and thinks its cool. Also KDE or gnome?
okay im new to this i need big help. my school got a new mac lab and they threw away the old ones. i asked for one and they gave it to me. its a power mac g4. im very knowledgeable about computers, the computer needed some work and it turns out that the harddrive had been completely formatted. there is no operation system on it and i do not have a boot cd. ive tried booting ubuntu linux but ubuntu requires a os to be on the computer. i have a live cd for linux from scratch and i would like to just put linux on it but every time i try to boot from a cd i just get the grey screen with the blinking file. to make matters worse i dint have a mac keyboard so im using a usb one. ive tried cmd-opn-f-o and holding down c and even comd-opn-shift-delete and nothings boots from the cd. ive put 15 hours in the past day to get this to work and im running out of ideas. PLEASE I BEG YOU. PLEASE HELP!!!! i will be eternally grateful. thanks again!
the problem with most of your answers is that ive tried al the comands and the wont work. ive tried just holding option key and nothing comes up. ive tried holding c key and nothing comes up. same with cmd optn f o. could it be the keyboard? i dont have a mac keyboard just a usb pc keyboard.

My mom flunked high school and married my dad, a top-of-the-line negotiator for MBNA, or present day BOA. She will not admit it, but I KNOW she married him for the money. She is unemployed, has minimal education, and pretends she’s rich. When I was a kid, she told me she wanted me to do good in school so I could support my wife.
Last year my dad died from a reaction to anesthesia (some rare condition). Ever since, I’ve been dealing with my mom trying to hold ends together with no experience except for changing my diapers. She has totally stopped motivating and supporting us and our hobbies.
We live in Plano, TX, which is a very high end neighborhood (I dislike it, too stuffy, but it’s diverse which is nice =D ). My mom has never had a job except 1, a flower shop out of high school.
To make ends meet, she makes other people do the work for her. She slept with her math teacher to pass statistics(While complaining about how he makes 18K a year) during her attempt to make it through to community college nursing school. People try and befriend her, but they fail, because she thinks she’s better then everyone at the college. When things go wrong, I never hear her blame herself. She blames the person closest to her.
My 17 year old sister, who has a job at Cinemark for 8$ a hr, is being oppressed. She is forced to send in my mom’s job applications and help her with community college work. When she got rejected once , she actually yelled at sis (To anyone thinking of hiring someone with a 2.0 GPA working at a flower shop, please.) for “Putting this on her”.
I am a 14 year old freshman, and I’m required to do cleaning and computer work. I am considered the “useless” child since I stay upstairs as much as possible to research things on my advanced freshman courses. I have high goals for myself academically, and my mom could not be any more in the way. Recently, my mom has complained about me not being able to restore the operating system on a laptop with no administrative privledges and a broken CD drive/charger. It would be easier to install linux on a granny smith apple.
Last week my mom applied for a job at a HUGE church near us, in the bookstore. Since that, she has not stopped yelling at us about how we’ve strayed from being christians, despite her having no bible. Today, after going in to get some stuff from the church, she called my sister a whore, right next to the fountain with a statue of jesus.
And now we got home from that, and said this: ” I never grew up with unconditional love, and I will never believe in it.” I have NO SUPPORT FROM ANYONE AT ALL!!! NO ONE SUPPORTS ME!!! I want to get AWAY FROM HER. FOREVER. I NEED A NEW START IN MY LIFE.
I NEED NEW PARENTS!!!
How do I get new parents? I was thinking of
*Running away: I have a bunch of stuff on a CPS record for that, so this might be the last straw.
*Starving myself: I’m 100 pounds and my mom keeps yelling about how she has to go to trial because I’m underweight. I’m forced to drink whey protein.
*Rewriting this and sending it to CPS: Mabye they can help?
PLEASE READ AND RESPOND! I NEED HELP!
I’m sorry if this was poorly written, I’m in a rage right now. I can’t think.
