| Answer» <html><body><p>Quote</p><blockquote> Quote<blockquote> Quote<blockquote>Thanks </blockquote> Did you use a skin to get your start menu and windows to appear like that?<br/><br/>GX1_Man Quote:<br/> Quote<blockquote>Yes and yes. </blockquote> <br/>How and How?</blockquote> Yes<br/></blockquote> Do you know what the software title was?<br/>(Or the skin name and the program needed to run it?) Quote<blockquote> Quote<blockquote>I already use Microsoft Windows Themes, but they are boring now. I am looking for a completely NEW look. </blockquote> <a href="http://www.vectorlinux.com/">>Completely free new look; will run on older hardware<</a>.<br/><br/></blockquote> Ok Rob. I will download Fips. <br/><br/>How do I install Vector <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/linux-1946" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LINUX">LINUX</a>?<br/>(Yes, I did read instructions. But I never really knew how to install it at all. The ISO file instructions are very hard to understand. I have plenty of blank CD's. )<br/>And how do I use Fips to make another drive?<br/>And whats this about a boot manager? <br/><br/>ROB! YOUR FIPS LINK DOESENT WORK! I FEEL HOPELESS Ergh i want say things but no make english goot <br/><br/>If you cant Get rob's program , you can try Bootit NG, but its not as good<br/><br/><a href="http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/">http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/</a><br/><br/>It can Resize Drives as well<br/> Quote<blockquote>How do I install Vector Linux?</blockquote> Can you boot from the VectorLinux CD? If you do this after you used FIPS to free up space, the installation program should guide you through the process.<br/><br/>Do backup your data first. <br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>ROB! YOUR FIPS LINK DOESENT WORK! I FEEL HOPELESS </blockquote> Oh! The home pages has moved. Thanks for the heads up. I have corrected the link in the software FAQ, so you can download it now.

I don't have any ISO programs. ) Quote<blockquote>but my screen cannot handle 1024x768 resolution, just 800x600.</blockquote> That could be a problem. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/many-554478" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MANY">MANY</a> of the Linux GUIs assume a minimum resolution of 1024*768, which may irritate!<br/><br/>You could start with <a href="http://ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/vectorlinux/veclinux-5.0/iso/VL-5.1-std.iso">>this<</a> VectorLinux version.

They may be okay on lower resolutions. YMMV.<br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>(And I don't know what to do with an ISO file. I don't have any ISO programs. )</blockquote> Go to the software FAQ (see my signature) and download DeepBurner. You may also want to obtain <a href="http://www.md5summer.org/">>md5summer<</a> - you can then check the md5 sum of your download against <a href="http://ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/vectorlinux/veclinux-5.0/iso/VL-5.1-std.md5sum.txt">>this<</a>. If they don't match up, you know that you need to download again (otherwise you'll just end up burning yet another holographic coffee coaster)...<br/><br/>Once you've got it burnt, just boot from the CD.

Its on my priority list for tomorrow. <br/>Hopefully, I will be able to figure it all out.<br/>One quick question before I end up killing myself from confusion: <br/>Can Linux be started from DOS?<br/>Thanks<br/>Ive Seen a Few Linux Installers that can be Started from dos, but you would be Better off Booting off the Linux disk<br/><br/>After you Burn it , just Boot off fit the Same way you would A windows CDOk. Thanks, Panboy. <br/>Rob:<br/>If I get all the ISO stuff onto the disk, can I still add Fips to the disk?<br/>I am wondering because I dint want to cause any problems installing, you now, in case it does something with the Fips file, like copies it, or messes up the installation...<br/>(I wish I had Internet in my room, it would make everything easier) <br/><br/>CMLS<br/>(I need an acronym for the letters CMLS. Like DMSCB=Dead Monkeys Smell Bad... or EGBDF.... etc...if you can think of any, send me a PM)Fips it Self is a Bootable Program , You'll want to Put it on a Different Disk<br/><br/>Thats Wrong Bad Panboy!<br/><br/>I would Put Fips on a Dos Boot Disk Separate to my Linux Disk.<br/><br/>As you can't boot two Programs off one Disk(With out Writing your won Boot program), Fip's can Fit on a Floppy so i don't see this to be a problem.<br/><br/>[edit][timestamp=1153217219][/edit] Quote<blockquote>Fips it Self is a Bootable Program , You'll want to Put it on a Different Disk<br/><br/>Thats Wrong Bad Panboy!<br/><br/>I would Put Fips on a Dos Boot Disk Separate to my Linux Disk.<br/><br/>As you can't boot two Programs off one Disk(With out Writing your won Boot program), Fip's can Fit on a Floppy so i don't see this to be a problem.<br/><br/>[edit][timestamp=1153217219][/edit]</blockquote> Well, the only problem is that I don't have a computer with a floppy hooked up to the Internet. <br/>I will see what Rob says...You can Make a Dos Boot CD with Nero , Nero Come with a Version of "Nero Dos" you can Used for making boot CD's it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/aslo-1986017" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ASLO">ASLO</a> has the Ability to use an image of a Boot Floppy and Convert it in to a Boot CD, Ill see if i can Find some Help Doc's for this<br/><br/>I think there may also be a Boot Disk image For CD's on Robs Webpage, or in the BootDisks Topic.You don't need a boot disk for the FIPS stuff. Just boot to DOS. Get FIPS on that machine by whatever means you have available - plonking it on a CD (all on its own... aah...) would be fine.<br/><br/>I wouldn't recommend attempting to add FIPS to a Linux CD. You'd need to extract all the Linux files from the ISO, add in FIPS and burn your own bespoke <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/compilation-925722" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMPILATION">COMPILATION</a>. Not worth the hassle.<br/><br/>Good luck downloading FIPS. I can't get a response from the FTP server. You might need to google for a mirror.

I used "Sonic Record"<br/>One question:<br/>will the Linux installation allow me to install on the drive I want it to? (Allow me to select the drive I want it to install to...)<br/>Yes.</body></html> | |
