No problem, Alternately, (if you haven't done so already) you may try unzipping the archive, since you can unzip self extracting zip archives without running them. If the archive is not zip base, of course this will not work. Gleb -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

NT and Microsoft can go to hell!

Ahh, the beauties of NT Disk Administrator :-) Which version of NT are you using, 3.51? It had this bug for disks with more than 2 logical partitions. I am really curious if M$ left it in there for 4.0 (I am too afraid to try it out myself). For full description of the problem and solution check out: http://www.microsoft.com/kb/articles/q135/3/08.htm Gleb PS I coulnd't even use fdisk from Linux/OS/2/Dos after I had this problem. Norton Disk Doctor was reporting physically damaged disk. I had to fiddle with Norton Disk Editor to even get fdisk to work.

Re: noteboot install
> "Philippe" == Philippe Troin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> still compiling after *7 hours*! And... it died with Philippe> How much memory do hou have ? 7 hours seems quite long, Philippe> even without cache... You'd be surprised what turning off cache can do to your computer. For instance my PPro200 took 10minutes to boot when I turned off cache (and I didn't even get to see X start up properly, since I managed to switch over to the console to shut the beast down). I have a feeling that turning cache off hurts performance significantly more than not having it in the first place, not sure why. On the other had, PPro on-chip cache might be a whole different beast than a "normal" L2 cache. Gleb -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
