yes Norton and McAffee are both resource hogs. I usually had 550-650 MB of my 1024 free until I completely uninstalled norton. It boosted to 720 or so.
True they use more memory, but they are also more than just a firewall.

It should be in /usr/sbin, most likely it is mkinitrd.conf you found in /etc. What does
which mkinitrd
produce?
Also a ram disk isn't always needed, I never make one when I build a kernel. If all necessary modules (to boot) are compiled in try booting the kernel.

um maybe i can put this is a different way i use comcast cable internet connection i brought home my laptop so i plugged it into the laptop reset the computer but it will not connect to the internet what setting do i need to do to get it up and running?
Usually with cable service when changing systems direcly connected to the modem you need to unplug modem wai t 30 seconds plug it back in wait another 30 seconds then connect other system. Most likely the laptop wont connect because the mac address of desktop is registered (for lack of a better word at this hour) with your ISP.

God I hate Linux sometimes. Apple and Microsoft solved this problem years ago. Even NetBSD and Dragonfly have partial solutions.
Dependency hell is one of many reasons I've stopped for the most part using rpm based distros. My server runs Mandriva, it works okay.
The good people at Debian have worked very hard to ensure that Debian packages that are installed, upgraded will not boink your system, I haven't encountered as many weird things as when I ran Fedora........things seem fairly stable in sarge and Etch anyway.
Etch seems to suck much less than other distros I've run.
Personally I think Gentoo handles deps better then most other distros (not to say ive tried every distro), in the three years or so i've used gentoo I can't remember one dependency problem, while in the two weeks or so ive used Suse 10 OSS I have had several to deal with.

that was the status in Hoary, it was listed as 1.0.2 with all the fixes that actually made it 1.0.4
so in order to get the extensions and themes to download we had to modify that one string. In Breezy it is 1.0.7 with the fixes up to that point. they have taken FF and done the same thing that Windows did with IE and the OS. if you want 1.5.01 on breezy you have to install it from source or using Advantix. then you have to link everything to it. you cannot just remove ff 1.0.7 from Ubuntu since it is integrated into the OS.
How is firefox integrated?

There is absolutely no reason not to use the windows firewall.

Can you post the code?

I was trying to install a wireless network card on a linux laptop and it was not being detected. A friend gave me a link to a utility which can be found here: http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/install.php It is available as a RPM or a tar file. It worked well.
Hope this helps someone

You can do the same thing linuxant does (load a windows driver) for free using ndiswrapper. There may also be a native driver for your card, do you know the make and model number.

I would probably go with a new realease, I personally think it is worth the effort to take the time and only compile modules you need (but be prepared to boot with a live cd and chroot to re-compile because you missed something) rather than using something like genkernel. The most important thing to do is know as much about your hardware as possible. Also anything required for boot must be compiled in, in particular filesystem support and IDE/SATA drivers.
EDIT:
You will also need to recompile any external drivers (ndiswrapper, alsa-driver, nvidia, ati...etc).

Ok, well I rehooked my optical mouse up after commenting out the option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
didn't do anything. when I move my mouse the optic light goes out. now I can plug my ball mouse in and it still works. Any other ideas that might help???
Does the mouse work properly on another system? The optical beam going out is puzzling, could be faulty hardware. I would try all the different devices under /dev/input as well as /dev/mouse and /dev/psaux if they exist, I would also try Option "Protocol" "auto"

Cool, time to update my profile. I'll try the installer in a virtual machine later,

Try
dhclient eth0

Does the information from ipconfig /all in windows match what is in /etc/network/interfaces?
-
I'm a little unclear, I thought you weren't able to connect using windows on the same hardware, are you? If so I'de say the problem is more than likely on your end, the fact that your system is freezing is a sign it might be as well. I take it you are able to boot after disabling the networking from the appropriate runlevels, I am curious if your are able to start it manually.
-
but it should let Dragon boot.
also I did not see naraku show the steps to make grub boot single user..
see this red hat site..
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/R...ing-single.html
I forget to add the details sometimes ;P I agree, even with dhcpd failing he should be able to boot.
-
ae you still able to add a router to your setup? would letting the router do dhcp solve the problem?
Not if the dhcp problem is with the telco router, a home router will still need to recieve its IP through dhcp (unless specifically configured as static).

I contacted the local phone company, they are my go between to the ISP. come to find out they had a 40 port blade blow last week. after it was replace not all configurations were reset, so they are working on it. they figure I should be back to what I was before by the end of next week.
if you have time do this..
open a Termianl as root (or sudo what ever ubuntu does)
and do tcpdump -v /dev/eth0
then open another teminal and do the dhcpd /dev/eth0
and post the output of the tcpdump...
I had this same problem, adn it turned out to be my MAC address. They did not have my MAC in there system.. I guessing that you are dual booting.. so that may not be so.. (I always put a router betwen me and the ISP now.. so they have my routers MAC.. and I server my own DHCP.. using Monowall (using this http://www.soekris.com/net4501.htm board)
hope this gives you some ideals..
thanks Iccaros,
I would do that, but the problem is I can't even access the desktop or recovery mode since it won't configure the network settings. any suggestions on how to overcome that?
There are a couple of ways, the easiest would be interactive mode durring init (Im not sure if Ubuntu supports it by default) you would see press I for interactive boot as init starts if it is enabled and not start the network (you will be asked whether to start each service). The next way I would do it is boot single user mode and disable your network interface init script. The last thing that comes to mind is a chroot (boot live cd, su to root, chroot <path to root> /bin/bash, and disable network.

Odd, I had no trouble finding you by UID, I see you on right now.

How about a Projects section for us programmers ^^ that wanna show off what we'v done =P
Right now all we have is a place for questions.
Put it in the programming forum, it may be primarilly a Q and A forum but I see no reason not to showcase homebrew apps (I intend to once I learn enough to make something remotely interesting) as long as code is posted and not just a download link. I can't speak for the posters in the programming section but I'de like to see what you (and anyone else have written).

ok, I've ran some test, and find it also an intresting program.. I need some one test vieso and shareing with..
I am also trying to test video using my desktop and the girlfriends laptop. I think my problems so far are firewall related (If I turn off firestarter I get the green light). My qnext ID is 165565, I am more than happy to test the video with you. I did get a chance to try the file trandsering (a 1 gig file (*.tgz to be exact) in about 12 minutes, not too bad in my opinion)

Although I hate to say it that system may run better with windows 95 or 98, 32Mb's of RAM is very low for running an X server (if it even can), even 64MB is low. But if you want to try (what can it hurt) I would try damn small or vector linux (I had vector run an x server on an old laptop with 32 megs and it was extremely slow).
-
never mind I'll just send this thing back and get a better adapter
thx for the help guysThough it would be best to get one that you know works, I wouldn't give up so easily you never know it could work great.

Easy and simple doesn't describe c++ in any way IMO. Maybe python or java would be a better place to start. I dont know any python (several other users here do) but im taking java and like it alot and it shares some similar syntax with c++.
