[QUOTE=nikomo;28244085]Riiight, I think most people here know where the MBR resides and what it does.
I sort of forgot that when partitioning and shit fucked up, but I can't make any fucking sense out of the [b]partitioner in Debian[/b] so I think I just wrote GRUB on top of the loader for Windows 7. This shit sucks.
I'll have to see how this turns out.[/QUOTE]
I never liked the debian installer, why can't it just conform to all other distros standards and put an individual tool like gparted or something.
Even when I tried the "expert" install it was still so nonsensical. I loaded that extra "partitioner" component and it still didn't give me a clear "PARTITION YOUR DISK HERE" entry.
Aye. I honestly had no fucking clue what I was doing.
But I think it fixed itself up now almost by itself.
Rebooted after install, no Windows 7 in GRUB.
Boot into Debian. See that latest kernel has support for my wireless.
Update kernel to latest, reboot to finish it off. Windows 7 on sda1, and 2. Booted into sda1, it's running that checkdisk shit it does when filesystem goes "Honeeeeey, someone just shrunk the partition".
I think the command was grub-update that will scan and add operating systems to grub.
BCM4315 (BCM4312 LP/PHY. linux-kernel 2.6.32 is needed, 2.6.33 or latter is recommended)
Horse-shit.
2.6.38-020638rc6-generic and ain't working.
Edit:
When in doubt, read the Debian wiki. This will probably work.

I think grub-update is to only update the internals of grub, the menu.lst is generated with a template depending on your system and re-written by hand right?
Oh yeah also I got a bit of a question, I recently revisited an old problem a friend of mine had. He got an old blue-white powermac g3 his dad had recently. I was wondering what would be the right powerpc distro to put on it.
I was thinking either archPPC or gentoo. I would prefer to go with archPPC knowing it would be relatively fast to do, although gentoo boasts its "Performance to platform" super-powerful compiling standards. So which one? Or is there another that would be better?
Oh wow, turns out release candidate kernels are release candidates for a reason.
Who would have guessed?

Nope it updates it to menu.lst to. (could recheck if you wan to)

[quote]From a command line run:
update-grub
-this will search for installed kernels in your partitions, then will append generic menu.lst entries to the end of the file - these should be able to boot your installs - but may need tweaking to suit the specifics of your system.[/quote]
Was a bit wrong.

Nope it should add it with no problem at all.
How can I add an FTP Server to my Computer folder like in Windows?
[QUOTE=faillord adam;28254129]How can I add an FTP Server to my Computer folder like in Windows?[/QUOTE]
What are you talking about? If you mean how to install an FTP server, then that would depend on your distribution.
To install vsftpd:
Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install vsftpd
Gentoo: emerge vsftpd
Arch Linux: pacman -S vsftpd
Anyone have any experience setting up Armitage?
That database shit brings my piss to a boil.
Chrome or Chromium?

I don't think he wants to create a server, I think he just wants to add a shortcut to a server. I think the option is called "Map Network Drive" on windows.

That's it.
Gnome has the option like "add server" or something like that under Places.

And again, Ubuntu is way faster than Windows.
I think that there's a way to mount an ftp location Linux. I forgot the name of it tho.
[QUOTE=Boris-B;28264412]I think that there's a way to mount an ftp location Linux. I forgot the name of it tho.[/QUOTE]
I've done it now.
There's curlftpfs and fuseftp. There are other ones too but some are outdated.
Nevermind I'm a retard.
I want to setup Centos 5 on a VM the same way it would be setup on a server to be used as a test environment. Do I need to do anything special or just mount the iso and install it? Also is Centos 5 really 4gb or am I downloading the wrong one? Is there like a smaller version for servers?
To install it, simply set the ISO as the cd/dvd drive and the VM should boot it. The 4GB ISO contains a shit ton of packages.
There's also 7 ISO's (CD size) that do the same thing. CD1 is the install disk and has some packages and the 6 other ones are the rest of the packages.
There's also at network install ISO. IIRC it's more of a pain to set up.

So if I am installing it to be a server I only really need the install iso?
It shouldn't be, it just grabs the packages from that are needed from the net (and the iso is smaller).
CentOS is meant to be a server distro. Whatever ISO you use you'll install it "as a server".
You could the the net install one. It's the smallest file and you won't need to upgrade after.
I'm not sure of exactly what you mean by "as a server". You'll be prompted what packages to install. It all depends on how it's going to be used. I would personally go without the GUI.
Installed Arch in a VM for the first time today, expected it to be super hard. This is fun! :buddy:
Fuck fglrx.

Depends on how recent of a kernel you're using, I think the OSS drivers have gotten much better recently, sometimes even better than the fglrx drivers.

This.
The performance isn't that great on the open source drivers, but they're getting really good at getting games working.
After some recent updates I've had World of Warcraft and Mass Effect 2 working on the open source. WoW has a couple of rendering issues and the performance isn't very good. WoW works better on fglrx, but last I tried, I couldn't get ME2 to work on fglrx
I haven't played TF2 in like 2 years so I couldn't tell you how it works on either.
