Hi,
Anybody knows if grub2 allows me to boot partitions from USB?
If so, that'd be useful to boot from boxes that don't have booting off USB
disks ability.
Thanks

Hi,
[sorry about the cross-posting first]
The gpart package that find lost partitions, has anyone try to test if it
still works? "Luckily" my whole partition table is wiped clean by a
running away Windows app, and I get the chance to test it. The result? --
After 1 hour and 25+ minutes of scan
Thanks everyone who replied,

Hi,
Sorry if it is a FAQ,
Is the 3G memory access limit is the natural one, or something
superficial imposed by M$? I mean, does 32bits Linux (the i386
architecture) has such 3G limit as well?
thanks

Hi,
What should I do if encountered the "Interactive rebase already started"
situation?
I did:
$ git checkout -b t/unmount
Switched to a new branch 't/unmount'
# hack grml-debootstrap
$ git rebase -i origin/master
Waiting for Emacs...
Cannot 'squash' without a previous commit
But
Hi,
I get "Working tree is dirty" error when using git. Details at

How can I fix it?
Thanks

Hi,
I came across a tool called something like "ext2 empty" but forgot where
it is now. Primarily, it zero out all unused spaces in ext2 fs, so that
the unused spaces won't take up much spaces when compressed.
Any hint?
Thanks

Hi,
How can I make a DOS floppy disk image under Linux?
[OT]
Moreover, my experience with DOS was back in stone age when you use
sys A:
to make it boot-able. Now with Win NT/XP etc, I hear that merely copying
ntldr, ntdetect.com and boot.ini into it will make it boot-able. Anybody

Hi,
I am astonished to find out that my ~/.xsession-errors grows to a
humongous 640M! My wife's is nearly 400M as well. This is way way too
big.

Hi,
Having upgraded iceweasel, I am no longer able to call firefox or mozilla
from command line any more. I don't mind firefox is called iceweasel or
whatever in Debian, but entirely stopping me from starting firefox is
something I don't feel comfortable.
