[newbie] cleaning up after kernel build
okay, i'm finished experimenting for the day ... for no reason other than to see what i could learn, i copied the source code onto my hard drive, configured a new kernal with make menuconfig, made the kernel, installed it, and tested it ... and i gotta admit, i learned a lot doing it ... but now it's time to clean up ... i need to find all the source code and anything else left over from my playtime and remove it from my hard drive ... where should i start? having a relatively small drive, i want to delete as much unnecesary stuff as possible .. and on a related note ... how do i know which logs are safe to delete? can i just delete them, or do i have to empty them of their contents but leave the file on the drive? any place i can look for guidelines for proper log maintenance? thanks in advance, kennM __ Do You Yahoo!?

You'll also need to find a public time server in your time zone (Google). [/PASTE] but i havent even tried it yet because of the public time server thing which is not always accessible to me (i may not be understanding it correctly but charge it to my personal stupidity ;-). i made do with not selecting any timezone in linux. i now have the same time in the two OS in my box. ciao! -- Programming, an artform that fights back. === Anuerin G.

[newbie] clock on dual boot system
okay, i know this is a trivial issue but it's driving me nuts ... i've created a dual boot (windows ME and linux) in which the clock is 6 hours different between the two ... if i correct the clock in one operating system, when i reboot, it's wrong in the other ... what am i doing wrong here, gang ? thanks, kenn __ Do You Yahoo!?

[newbie] how do i know if USB was detected? and iomega external CDRW ?
Greetings. I've done a default 8.1 installation on my laptop and everything seems to be functioning properly, including an ethernet connection that i was a little concerned about ... how do i tell if USB installed properly as well? the only USB gadget i have with me today at the office is an external Iomega zipCD drive, and i can't tell if it's seeing it or not ... i guess i also have an iomega usb zip drive, but that's also not listed as supported ... has anyone had any luck with either one of these products? thanks in advance, kennM __ Do You Yahoo!?
