Re: Did It! Now To Do It Again...
You can install a non-legit copy and register it later with the legit cd-keyOr as Morgan said, run D1 and D2 using Wine 2009/6/20 Rob Farquhar imagi...@bigpond.net.au ubuntu-au-requ...@lists.ubuntu.com wrote: From: Cary Bielenberg c...@bielenberg.id.au Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2009 19:57:05 +1000 Rob, It is advisable to have windows installed 1st as Ubuntu will write a boot manager in the master boot record for all operating systems. Windows will blow it away only allow access to Windows nothing else. You can recreate the grub menu but it is a long winded process . Hmm. Thanks, Cary. Prob is that the earliest we're likely to get a copy of XP is next weekend, and I don't want to leave David without for that long. Still, if it comes to it I can back any Ubuntu files up, repartition and reformat the HDD, put XP on and then reinstall Ubuntu. Another issue that's come up with my PC, though, is that my sound card doesn't seem to be working under Ubuntu. 9.04 recognises my Audigy 4 card; I can see it as an option in the drop-down boxes under System Preferences Sound. Still, I have no system sounds and pressing the Test box comes up empty. And yes, the speakers are on and connected. Any suggestions, folks?

Re: Data Recovery: professionals familiar with ext3
Just in a similar vein to Erland's problem: I've got reiserfs set up on my buntu box, and wanted to know what options there are for rescuing deleted data. The Internet recommends rebuilding the fs nodes from an emergency boot [not an option]. I was wondering what else fellow ubuntu'ers had in mind? Any help would be greatly appreciated Cheers Tim 2008/6/5 Erland [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Thanks everyone. I think I'll just have to fork out for a larger hard drive and have a go on an image of the disk myself. I've also contacted the place recommended in North Sydney for a quote. Cheers, Erland.

Re: spam (was Re: Eee-PC 900 in AU?)
Agreed. As for the real topic, I dont think the 901 will do as well as the 701, mainly due to stiff competition at that price bracket. I just saw a fully featured Acer notebook running Vista [albeit poorly] for around AUD$550. Celeron 1.6ghz if i remember correctly.

Re: streamlining for eee pc
Has anybody had any luck with a good wi-fi manager? The default Xandros had a beauty, and I was disappointed with (x)ubuntu's default.

A post about installing a slightly newer kernel is also available on the eeeXubuntu forums at eeeuser.com. This has better hardware support all round and has USB suspend turned on by default, so you can put your eee to sleep with a mounted SD card in the slot and not have it go haywire. There's not much to remove from eeeXubuntu. Apart from adding lots of multimedia and network apps that it doesn't ship with, I think the only software change I made was uninstall Abiword and replace it with Openoffice. And even with a bilingual install the space taken up was less than 2.5 GB. However, I'm sorry to say that I found the wifi still too flaky for my needs. So for external use I slapped a (gulp) nLited WinXP on the SSD and now run eeeXubuntu for home use only, off a 4GB SDHC card. This probably has more to do with my uni's network more than anything, because I know there are plenty of happy wifi-using eeeXubuntu users out there :) I did also find eeeXubuntu a bit slow to boot, which is a hassle given the eee's nature as a portable device. :( -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
