How is it beneficial to list anyone here or searching list archives to
continue a thread by chastising an OP for being imperfect more than 12 hours
after OP added string "solved" to the subject and thanked people who provided
useful help?
<LOL> Hurrah for Felix! He got it.
I don't know what I have to apologize for. Did I say anything
impolite? I'm not
conscious of having done so. Maybe I should apologize for "hijacking
a thread"?
As Felix and maybe a few others have noticed, I can now log on to
either my Windoze
or to Jessie, which is what I originally inquired about. I persist
in thinking
that the procedure I am using is cumbersome, and I hope
that a new release of installation SW will a) be sure to detect
another OS during
the installation, and b) will ensure that grub puts a good
notice/question up on a
beginning screen for people to click on(or perhaps use the arrow
keys) to indicate
which OS they wish to boot.
To conclude this topic: the folks who think I'm rude or
uncooperative or both clearly
have the option to ignore in future anything/everything that I write.
I hope they
will take advantage of this option.
Now I have a follow-on question: I'd like to be able, from Jessie, to copy
files to and from my
Windoze system. I haven't really tried simply cd-ing to e.g. /dev/sda1, which
is the partition
containing my Windoze stuff. Is that what you dual OS users do? is there some
subtle mount
command that you use? I shall be most grateful for any instructions, or even
suggestions.
Best wishes to all,
Alan McConnell
