Why should OpenBSD users be concerned? Doesn't this injection method only work when the running OS is Windows? Or are you thinking it would be a matter of principle? -Gene On Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 8:59 AM, Shaun Reiger srei...@sprmail.net wrote: In light of what Lenovo has been doing to its

In light of what Lenovo has been doing to its customers by installing spyware like superfish and now installing crapware using Microsoft's Windows Platform Binary Table at the BIOS level. Do people still plan on purchasing laptops from them going forward. If so whats your reasoning behind

I can also recommend abcde. I have transferred my ~800 discs to files using this tool. The newest version 2.7 (not yet in ports) can even download cover art now. I wish it had this feature back when I was in the process. I used 'exfalso' for that, which was a manual and very tedious process.

Why don't you make an usb install key ? And you should use 5.7 or 5.8 (almost 5.8 by using snapshot) For an usb installation, I think this method still works : http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=articlesid=20140225072408 Maybe your disk is dying -Message d'origine- DeĀ :
