Networking and Dual Boot help.
I currently use a Dell gx240 desktop pc. It is running XP Prof OS. It is presently my primary machine and contains all of my crucial data. There is no space for a second HDD. The HDD is 250GB of which I still have 200GB free. I have just commissioned a second pc and have loaded XP Home and Ubuntu on a dual boot basis. The PC is a Gigabyte (GA-8s648FX - 775) [ any comments on the M/board??]. It's in a desktop tower and there is plenty of room and additional slots. This machine will eventually become my primary machine. However, I am going to use it to acquaint myself with the intricacies of Ubuntu in the first instance. My plan is to utilise the default programs immediately. And then to explore the Linux Windows replacement programs to uncover those I will replace my existing functions with as I need to use them. Some I will initially run parallel. This way I expect to wean myself off Windows. (One of the benefits of Linux could become a hinderer - in as much as there seems to be an infinite choice of material.) In the short term I expect plenty of frustration and a big investment of time as I climb the learning curve. I don't have the inclination to be sat in front of my computer beyond what, for me, is reasonable. I have several other priorities which will also compete for my attention. So I am going to rush ahead slowly. (Too slowly, I fear, for some of the dedicated list people.) I want to be fully Ubuntu'd by the end of the year. It might well happen sooner. Okay, enough talk! So I can get the ball rolling, please will help me with the following: * How best do I set up for Sharing files on a dual boot system? If I edit a Windows data file in Ubuntu, will Windows be able to read the modified file? ** I believe I can run Ubuntu within Windows? What/where is the program for that? The idea is to toggle between XP and Ubuntu to compare certain features. *** How do I go about Networking between the two above PCs? Inevitably, this information is available on the net. I know. But . . . . I look forward to some of the selfless help and advice provided by this dedicated community. Thank you in advance.

I think Checkinstall is what you're after. ./configure make sudo checkinstall ...and everyone should use it if they're not planning on making fully-featured Debian packages! -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

oh I forgot to add if 'dpkg-buildpackage' is not the program you use, you can always type 'history' in terminal to give you a list of all the commands you have run.

Hi folks, I've had a mental blank and forgotten the name of a program I used to use quite a bit. It is a command line program that makes a .deb package from a directory with source code.

Hi David, Just unzip the zip, 'cd' into the 'UrbanTerror' directory Linux 32bits executable: ioUrbanTerror.i386 Linux 64bits executable: ioUrbanTerror.x86_64 make it executable first: right click it, properties and tick the 'allow execution' box, or 'chmod +x ioUrbanTerror.i386 ioUrbanTerror.x86_64' Then you can run from terminal by './ioUrbanTerror.i386' or you can just right click in nautilus and open the ioUrbanTerror.i386 for example.
