Re: Before I blow windows away....
In the future, if you have a need to backup an OS for possible later use i suggest looking at clonezilla. it will back up to Internal drive, usb, nfs, smb, or ftp and it uses dd to make a low level backup of your drive and partclone to map your partition layout and will do just about every Os i have run into including mac. An its not Microsoft, its the OEM vendors not shipping media, you can order replacement media usually for 10-20 bux to cover SH ect if you grumble enough they will sometimes just send it to you. and even then your 50/50 odds at getting restore media as opposed to install media.

Re: Before I blow windows away....
Stephen, One caveat with clonezilla - it cannot handle a disk to disk clone if the source has 512 byte sectors and the destination has 4096 byte sectors. Many of the new, larger, drives use 4096 byte sectors, and this is a problem than clonezilla has not yet addressed (I have been waiting 6 months). Their work around is to copy an image to another storage location, then copy the image back to the destination. However, you end up with a 4096 byte sector hard drive formatted with 512 byte sectors, and the accompanying loss in performance. Mark On Mon, Nov 28, 2011 at 8:14 AM, Stephen cryptwo...@gmail.com wrote: In the future, if you have a need to backup an OS for possible later use i suggest looking at clonezilla. it will back up to Internal drive, usb, nfs, smb, or ftp and it uses dd to make a low level backup of your drive and partclone to map your partition layout and will do just about every Os i have run into including mac. An its not Microsoft, its the OEM vendors not shipping media, you can order replacement media usually for 10-20 bux to cover SH ect if you grumble enough they will sometimes just send it to you. and even then your 50/50 odds at getting restore media as opposed to install media.

To copy from the terminal depends on the teminal. I am assuming the
Ctrl-Alt-T is the Ubuntu Unity shortcut for the Gnome Terminal (I use
Ubuntu but refuse to use Unity, I hate it and use Gnome Shell instead).
To copy text, you have two choices:
1. Highlight the text with your mouse, then activate the window you are
trying to copy into and wheel click (use your mouse scroll wheel like a
button)
2. Highlight the text with your mouse, and use Edit-Copy and then paste
into the program you want to copy it into.
The other option is to run your command appended with a
/tmp/output.txt (sans the quotes) to send all output to a temp file,
then you can open it in gedit, or any other program you like.

Regarding:
How do you copy text from the terminal (cntrlaltT)?
You could:
# md5sum -c md5sum.txt 21|ssh someuser@otherbox 'cat -

Enjoy...

PS: If you have any question,
you will get any answer.

The install will use the md5sum on the disk. I know with Ubuntu and
Fedora, both allow you to verify the disk. What the verify does is
run through that file and do the MD5 sum for all the files.
To verify your download, you should be fine running the MD5 command with
the info from the webpage. So just do this:
$ echo 548f0ac303fea840ef138e5669880a74 my.download.file |
md5sum --check
That should tell you if everything is ok

You probably have a terminal open that has a shell whose current working directory is on the drive. $ cd /media/mycdrive $ bash $ cd /home/me now your prompt shows you in me's home directory, but the parent shell's pwd is on the cd drive.

Re: I'm trying to install LinuxMint
We really are crossing our fingers :). Sidenote: on your next normal reboot or re-login, try classic mode instead of just Gnome. Works great for me.

Re: oh man! it just crashed again.
Damn. That sucks. Huh. Are there any BIOS updates for the motherboard? Failing that, what about BIOS controls regarding ACPI or similar power management settings? And failing THAT, hell...I'd actually consider going to kernel 3.1: http://www.howopensource.com/2011/08/how-to-install-linux-kernel-3-1-rc2-oneiric-in-ubuntu-11-04-10-10-and-10-04/ ...and there's even a way to go to kernel 3.2 if you're feeling way desperate :). http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-image I'm actually starting to wonder if your particular critter may be sickly - in the hardware sense. I've tried googling for kernel panic issues on battery power in oneiric and I'm coming up blank.
