Linux Question?

Posted on February 5, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

Basicaly my question is if I boot Linux from a live cd (Ubuntu) could I download a file from bittorent onto my hardrive so i could access it from windows. If so tell me how. My laptop can’t use ethernet so I have to boot linux from a cd to use the internet. Please help. But if you could find me a drive so I could use ethernet connections that would be good too.
oh sorry I forgot to write model.lol. i have a dell 600m. Believe me I’ve tried but im not good when it come to downloading drivers.

Help with dual-booting vista and ubuntu!?

Posted on February 4, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I am currently using a vaio vgn-fz140e which came with vista. I have a 60 gig external hard drive from my previous computer and I wiped the hard drive and installed Ubuntu linux on it. For some reason, the computer automatically tries to boot ubuntu but can’t load it from the external drive. It doesn’t even try to load vista. When running ubuntu from the live cd, I can see that both vista and ubuntu are installed on their respective drives, but they won’t boot at all. I tried to get into the BIOS, but for some reason, I can’t. Can anyone help me?

Need help installing Linux Ubuntu on HP Vista Laptop?

Posted on February 1, 2012 by admin| 7 Comments

I’m trying to set up a dual boot system on my HP pavilion dv6000 laptop running Windows Vista, but when I try to load the live CD, after i click “Run or install Ubuntu 7.10″ it prints out this list, then near the bottom it says something like “no such file or directory” about 4 to 6 times.
I obviously have “boot from cd” enabled, is there anything else? HELP?!?!?!
Yes, I have partitioned my hard drive, but it still doesn’t work. I’ll try that F6 thing but i dunno…

Other than Ubuntu’s ShipIt! Program How do you get Linux Live CDs/DVDs/USBs?

Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

Yeah I was trying to get the Mandriva One software but I almost downloaded it to my hard drive. I’m very confused about how this all works. Do you download it to a CD? Do you have to actually go out and buy a CD? Can you get a CD for free? I know I know there are a lot of questions here but I’m really new to this and need help!
