hi team ive been expirementing with win 98se something i havent done since the old techtv days ok i cant get drivers for my realtek cable card and this means i have to install them on a cd on one machine then transfer them to win98se on another machine there are several drivers missing from this cd but if i can get on line i can go look ok i know it is out of date but to me it is something different from xp and vista where the sys installs these drivers any ideas marty

sorry i havent been to the sight for a while yes it is a grub error this version is a bit tricky for me ive had all the versions which have installled ok but ubuntu 8.4 and 8.10 i have two machines and i use one to try the sys first the reason i do this i dont want to corrupt vista tho ime not a vista fan i payed for it so i need to utilise my money it has some good points and that is of one of the reasons i keep it going i had a crash recently and it corrupted the mbr which meant i had to change the mbr but that stopped me from getting back to ubuntu which i had to delete and format any

geez they are getting very clever these days back in the techtv days i thought they were clever but now they are well in advance of me any how marty

ok at last i have vista and ubuntu8.10 as a dul boot which has taken me some time to get to grips with ive had to install it on a bigger machine with plenty of ram whitch is what this sys needs it wouldnt load on a machine with 512mg of ram but it is ok now at first i had a problem when i booted from vista to ubuntu on my dos screen it was giving me an error and to fix the problem and had turn the compt off then restart any one got any idea what i did wrong some times it does this i thought down loading packages would help and so far it has i quite like this version any ideas marty

my wife will kill you ha ha ha marty

yes i remeber when i first joined world start and g4 which was a the time of the iraqi war world start closed thier political forum because of the flaming wars and to post you had to be invited to post and i must say they invited me because all the right wing posters wanted to kill me --------------------------------------------------- at g4 the same thing happened i gave the bush administration the rasberry and they wanted to ban me from the board altogether but the powers to be posted and said what has happened to american freedom of speach do you want to allow your opinions and no one el

thanks bubba bob to change the subject who is RUSS LINBAUGH the bbc has some scathing reviews about this man some where the name rings a bell but comming from a left wing backward country ime not up with the modern news

when i critisized bush so did millions of americans who voted them out they had enough of war mongering and pandering to the right wing who has buggered the econimy and want to blame some one else thats why they wanted obama there for a scapegoat i hope he succeeds for the sake of the ordinary people and not the greedys who made it like that marty

i am afollower of obama and i like what he is saying his speach was straight forward and he said it as it is he said things will be difficult but importantly hes has the rest of the world hopeing he succeds when i posted i didnt personal attack any one on this board so ime dissapointed with bubba bob attacking me personally my views were about the adminstration just voted out of office and i stick to those views i like to think obama will succeed but he needs the people behind him obviously the right wing will dissagree i have a freind in florida who sends me many anti things about obama

will changing the mbr when you press repair help i know this will fix the grub error just a thought marty

ok i can boot into both now it seems the problem was the time zone factor time showing in ubuntu was 12 hrs ahead of the time in vista here in nz we are 12 hrs ahead in some zones then northen hemiphere and because ime not very good at arithmatic it was 8 hrs before i got the both times right with our time zone once i estabilish that the dam thing went like a charm and is still going this ubuntu 8.10 isnt to bad a bit new for a mug like me but i like it i have to keep vista as i have to get my moneys worth but sooner or later ile switch to ubuntu some thing worth noting with ubuntu i ca

ok the usa has a new president he is black and for me i like the way he has conducted himeself for example the way he has treated that warmonger bush we out side of the usa hate bush who if had been there any longer would have caused a global war he critersized france for not helping with the iraqi thing and i saw many anti french slogans on many chat and message boards what the hell for or is it a way to hide the critisisome for starting the war and try to put the onus on some one else perhaps the new president can mend these fences with other countries which he has said so in the speac

hold it ive got the both sys working i can go between vista and ubuntu by restarting the test will be when i shut down which ime trying now marty

thanks for the replys sorry i havent been to this thread for some time i found the problem was the time and date was 24hrs ahead of our time god knows why and when i installed it wasent showing the full menu and the networks was one of those not there i have a post in another thread concerning this install which concerns a vista ubuntu8.10 dual boot tic tocs reply was interesting as my isp is telstra cable thanks again marty

this compt has only facility for one hdd so i bought an external hdd case to be able to install ubuntu8.10 ok it will install but once i close the comp down i cant boot back into ubuntu or vista while it is going every thing works great but rebooting is the problem i thought maybe the boot setting in the bios would help bit that dosent work i have a feeling vista is the problem because i have no problems with an xp ubuntu dual boot any advice or have o bought a lemon marty

sorry ive missed the thread my it is good to see two very good friend back on the board hope you guys stay awhile marty

happy birthday marsh and have many more marty

yes ive already had an email in regards to this virus tho it was inevitable sooner ot later is there a special cleaner for it or will the normal scanner do the job thanks for the warning marty

any one know how to setup networks on cable connect this version has changed the settings and there isnt an avenue for cable connect unless they have changed the words i have the settings from my isp but i havent a clue where to set them linux has been a battle for many of us but with out those networks settings it is like p------g at the moon they have also changed the area to locate the the network they have settings for all other connections but cable any help marty

if your using vista go turn off you user account and you will be able to install and change programs i got round this problem when i tried to install and use regcleaner the sys wouldnt let me use regcleaner it was sending an error message and by accident i i found the user account was blocking regcleaner ime not sure if this answers your Q but it is some thing to remember marty

ok got it figured the external drive is the same as any hdd and all it needed was to format the external so the sys cauld recognise it it is my first experience with this sort of drive and i wanted to install ubuntu 10 as a dual boot with vista marty
