Gparted Live Usb Under 256 Meg How To Restore My
I can tell you that this is a damb site quicker than re-installing XP, downloading all the patched and updates before putting on my favorate applications.The next thing that I learnt was how to restore my Master Boot record. Just knowing how to use this app has saved me a whole lot of heart ache because even if I do get a virus or some new application feks up my operating system I can quite happily re-install a clone of my hard drive and be up and running within 20 minutes as if notthing had ever happened. I did this by learning how to clone my hard drive using a piece of software called Norton Ghost 2003. Download and Discover.You can get a bootable gparted cd, that contains just the partitioning software, with a gui frontend - Gnome, hence the "g" at the front of "gparted"At work, we mostly use debian - on our machines, and our "virtual" servers.Ubuntu and PCLinuxOS are probably pretty much the most popular distros - see for details.Xubuntu uses xfce4 as it's main window manager, and that is far "lighter" in terms of thrashing a low spec computer that either KDE or GnomeAnd, of course, if you use any of the ubuntu distros, then it is just simple to add another desktop manager (KDE, Gnome, XFCE4, etc) until you find one you like, and make that the default "session".I ain't no expert and all that I have learned has been gleaned from Dominion.Before I even tried a Linux distro I found out how to back-up my XP so that if I wanted then I could either re-install it or put it onto a new hard drive if need be.
Love the flexibility it provides to the user, and whilst people complain about the bloat in portage it is by far the best package management system that works, infinitely better than the circular dependency nightmares I had when I started out with RedHat7.3 and far less hassle installing from source than under Slackware.GNU/Linux in general does support WPA encryption for wireless networks. Unfortunately XP won't recognise the Linux partitions but that ain't a problem because I can either install another Linux distro over the linux partitions or run my Norton clone to wipe everything back to the way it was before I started messing around.So, in a nut shell the simplest way, for me, to get rid of a linux distro if I am dual booting is to use a Windows 98 Boot disk and then reclaim the partitions used by Linux with a partitioning tool, which again was recomended to my by Dominion which is "Gparted" which also happens to be a Linux application.This may all sound complicated but after messing around I don't have a care in the world because I know that I can put my XP or Linux distro onto any hard drive I care to choose.Three cheers for the IT bods on this site.My preferred GNU/Linux (as its correctly known is Gentoo. All I know is that if I do fek anything up with a dual boot then I simply insert a floppy disk, which is a Windows 98 Boot disk, and type the magic line "fdisk/mbr" and my computer will boot back into XP.
You can also reduce the number of DHCP clients your router will dish out. In my opinion I do as the previous poster and simply filter the wireless MAC filters (although again, someone with the know how, could snoop the MAC address of a permitted device and clone it to piggy back on your network). Secure.WEP/WPA stops random people from connecting to your wireless router, but as above they can be cracked. This is what will keep your passwords for your bank account, forums etc. Both can be cracked by someone with the know how (although the later requires a brute force approach).If your doing _anything_ secure on any web-pages then you should be using SSL (this will be apparent from a) the URL starting as opposed to the usual and b) in most browsers a little padlock in the bottom corner which is normally unlocked becoming locker).
As root, run make install. So my system will have an /etc/network/interfaces.origCould you let me (this thread) know which wireless card you have?I'm been assuming that it's one built into your laptop, but in a post at 21:51 Sat you say you've got rausb1 as your wireless network intferface, which tends to make me think it's a USB one, not an internal one.If it is an internal - non-usb - one then your problem with ndiswrapper will be that you need to do "make" and "install" ndiswrapper with the following switches:Go to the source-directory and run make distclean and make. On the other hand, I know what I'm doing, and have the facilities and knowledge to recover systems that I could make a mess of, and always make backup copies of files I edit. Whereas I'm a techy git, and one of the first things I do when installing ubuntu is issue the command:And set a root password, so I then just log in as root, and don't have to bother with all this issuing "sudo" commands before I edit files a normal user isn't supposed to. The eth0 will be your normal, cabled ethernet interface.Now, wlan0 might be your wireless interface, but then again on my companies laptop it is eth1Wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ddNow, as I said, that's from memory, as the laptop is at my bosses' home.And the other file, where you put the key generated by running(where MYSSID is your wireless router's SSID, and MYPASSPHRASE is whatever passphrase you've put into the router as it's wpa passphrase - and you need to accurate with case sensitivity with both the ssid and passphrase as it generates the key using what you put in, and if you get either wrong, your key will be wrong)Now, you will not have rights to edit either of these files, so you'll probably have to open a terminal and use something like:To edit that file. For more information, see interfaces(5).Briefly, do not under any circumstances touch the loopback section.
If you don’t need USB support in ndiswrapper, with recent versions, you can compile with make DISABLE_USB=1 and install with make DISABLE_USB=1 install.Now, that assumes you've downloaded ndiswrapper source code as above in those instructions.With Ubuntu I'd seriously recommend running the following command before you start this process:This will allow you to set a password for rootAnd put in the password you've just createdThen you can ignore all the crap that is ubuntu specific aboutI seem to recall on the works laptop that unless I used those DISABLE_USB switched I had the same problems you are having.
