Hi Peter,
a Pine GF MX4000 128MB AGP-8 card dated 2002, and now Google Earth tells
me that this is not good enough because it won't handle 3-D effects.
Are you running the open-source nouveau driver, that may not fully
support your card, or the c
m not willing to
part with shed-loads of dosh.
Google earth requirements: Graphics Card: DirectX9 (yes) and 3D capable
with 64MB of VRAM(yes)
Thanks for any advice.

Hi Peter,
Then I intend to repartition the disk to get rid of XP.
Could the current partition layout not be edited to what you want with
GNU PartEd running from a live USB distro? You'd still want to back-up
beforehand in case it all goes wrong b
kubuntu, and backup
the browser password file and favourites.
What other things do I need to check for?

Hi Peter,
That subnet mask is valid if the link is a point to point link where a
network and broadcast addresses are not needed, such as an ADSL link.
I don't think it is wildly used however with the IPv4 address space

the device.
Cheers,

I am using Kubuntu (the latest) and firefox 24.0.

a firewall it has.
Would one that offers Wireless 'n' protocol give a better signal than
one that doesn't? My USB stick on my computer doesn't support 'n'.
Is it any good, and does anyone have any other recommendations?

programs to write to it, just copying directories of data to it

My computers all take PCI cards now and this stuff predates that, but is
