So far, no reply to my query about shellshock. Am I looking in the wrong place?
Another issue alarmed me today. I use a dual boot set up as described in the guide I read when installing gNewSense. I thought the way things are supposed to be is that I can control Windows Partitions from gNewSense but not my Linux partitions from within Windows. In fact at first, even with Windows Administrator priveleges I was getting reassuring messages that I did not possess the right to make changes using Windows Disk Management. I was working through some A+ course material and while putting theory into practice I found that it seems I could, from Windows, apparently delete the swapfile partition used by gNewSense. (I didn't want to risk trying to see if I could delete any of the other Linux partitions.) I re-booted straight-away to look at things from within gNewSense (set up as advised via GRUB as my default OS). I still got the usual message about the swapfile being activated but using the Disk Utility I found the swapfile partition named as free space. Is it just the name that has changed and everything is working fine otherwise? Perhaps I have I misunderstood something fundamental about the way dual boot systems work? Can anyone help please?
