I would check out the Slack Book at slackware.com, marty:-) cfdisk is a user-friendly partition utility. The best thing to do is to thoroughly read-up on the installation procedure.

Slackware 12.1 is released! I just bought my 6 CD set from the Slackware Store, 49.95 is a small amount to pay for my favourite software. I'm downloading the CDs now with bit torrent, but, it is slow going.

I'm not running Ubuntu 8.04 at home, but, I found one unit at work to try it out on. I've got a P4 IBM Netvista at work that has stubbornly refused attempts to run Linux, that is, either the network card or the video card was not supported. Ubuntu 8.04 found all of the hardware on the unit so I happily removed XP and installed 8.04. Ubuntu uses more resources than Debian or Slackware, but, it is a good distro.

Love the posters:-)

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family, Sultan! Take care, old friend:-)

No, Linux is not the kind of fun I thought it was, and not the kind of fun you describe. No, Linux was and is a necessity, created by Gates's antisocial personality and capitalist firm. When Longhorn was announced, nobody envisaged that it would become the inferior product Vista proves to be, and nobody expected it to cost so much, twice, first for the OS itself, second for the hardware requirements. So when Vista was announced, and since I had at that moment 8 pc's to manage, I got an uneasy gutfeeling: this is going to be difficult. So, for 16 months now, I'm downloading and testing distro's

Perhaps you should send an e-mail to the site administrator and see if he/she will let you look at the contents of the web directory. Explain your issue and perhaps you'll get access to your stuff.

Heh-heh. Agreed.

Thanks, JDoors:-) It struck me as funny too.

Yeah, well-said, Matt:-) When I hear the words brute-force I think hacking.
