I have this weekend off, so will try looking around. Anyone with suggestions for good resources for me to learn about Linux commands?
Everything I have, with the exception of 4 partitions for installation of PCLinuxOS and Ubuntu are NTFS. I got some good help in another thread about formatting, just have not figured out yet what will work best while I am still working with XP also. For the time being, I can still rip in XP, and save to my external. I found out I could not save an OpenOffice doc to NTFS, so may need to make some decisions sooner than later. XP disc management will not let me make a 5th partition on the drive I have the Linux distros on. Maybe my next step will be using the Ubuntu install disc to try and format the unpartitioned space. I don't suppose Linux will format fat32, so I suppose I'll try ext3 and see what I can do to get XP to read/write to that. I believe someone told me there was a driver for windows to do that. Kind of feel like I am stuck in the middle right now, not sure when to just commit to Linux, and make XP the secondary. Thanks a lot for the help. -- mgh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10308 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35254 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
