[QUOTE=Wyzard;33259488]You're making an image [i]of[/i] the drive and then storing it [i]on[/i] the drive? Presumably either you're compressing the file first, or you're storing an image of a smaller flash drive onto a larger one, because otherwise it's impossible.
How big is the file, and what filesystem is the flash drive using? FAT doesn't support files bigger than 4GB.[/QUOTE]
It's a 33mb image going on to another flash drive which is 8gb. The flash drive is FAT, but the file is only 33mb.
How can I display an arrow instead of a tab in vim? And a return character at the end of lines would be handy. I am not quite looking for ":set list", since that replaces the tabs, as opposed to displaying an arrow. Thanks.

I don't know, but I highlight the indention.
I've been trying to install Codeblocks on OpenSUSE but it is missing wxWidgets. I tried to build wxWidgets but I was unable to. I was under the impression that wxWidgets came with every distro. I'd just like to make clear, I have little to no experience with OpenSUSE or Linux for that matter.

Type this in then use :set list. There's a space after the slash at the end.
[code]
:set listchars=tab:>\
[/code]
When using listchars, it replaces the character replacements that were used previously. I couldn't find the digraph for the return character, but to add something else to it, you would use this and replace the $ with whatever character you want.
[code]
:set listchars=tab:>\ ,eol:$
[/code]
Im about to install Arch on my laptop and I've heard its really hard to configure the wireless to work. I don't want to delete my windows 7 partition if I know I'm not going to get it to work.
I've installed Arch before on a desktop and got it to work fine, but that was with Local area connection.

When selecting packages to install on the /arch/setup utility, make sure to select 'netcfg' and 'net-tools'. (By hovering over them with your arrow keys and pressing Space).
Once you've finished installing Arch, cd into /etc/network.d/examples. Type in 'ls' to list the files. You should see lots of different files beginning with 'wireless-'. Choose the one relevant to you (I have WPA, so I chose wireless-wpa). Once you've selected it, copy it over to /etc/network.d by running
/etc/network.d/wireless
Then open the file with your favourite text editor (I prefer nano, so I'd type)
nano /etc/network.d/wireless
In there, change everything you need (wireless key, essid etc).
Once you've done that, save it and exit out of your text editor.
Finally, type in:
netcfg -u wireless
Once it's finished, hopefully you should be connected to your network. To test it, just type 'ping google.com' or something along those lines.
Have fun, and remember about the wiki!

You can also use wicd or networkmanager if you want a GUI to configure wifi.
Those are nice if you're using wifi at restaurants or hotels or something you don't have netcfg set up for.
I just found out that you can "middle click" on folders and make a new tab on Ubuntu.

Yeah, but you need to be on Wifi to get those in the first place. I recommend wicd because it has less GNOME dependencies.

No one?
You do know how to use the package manager, right?
Yes
Use it to install wxWidgets
Tried. Crashes when I start the install. Seems OpenSUSE 12.1 isn't that stable yet.

I love Wine:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/t2pLX.png[/img]
I'm surprised that works within Wine
Audio [i]and[/i] wine both working at the same time? Surely you jest.
It actually worked straight off the bat. There is one main trouble, you can't click the menu items (e.g. File, Edit etc.) so you have to press-release Alt, then press down. That's nothing though.
Whoa, so, my PC got fucked over my this tainted USB school drive, so I thought I was completely screwed. I installed Ubuntu and am currently running it off my flash drive now happily storing all my crucial files on my laptop. This OS is fucking incredible, I love it more than 7, and it makes me dislike OSX even more. If compatibility wasn't a headache, then, this would be my main OS in a heartbeat. It really is awesome, and a total life saver.
Respect Linux dudes.

I'm a beginner at this linux thing, and I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 if that matters.[/QUOTE]
it should be, did you update your sources.list? run sudo apt-get update
So on my Ubuntu 11.10 family server/family desktop, how would I go about redirecting stephenl.net to [url]www.stephenl.net[/url], which is on the same computer? WooRank says that is a problem. Apache 2 of course.
shouldn't it loop to localhost? I guess I don't get what you're asking

You configure your DNS records.
Oh, perhaps I forgot to mention that the server is hosting and broadcasting the website [url]www.stephenl.net[/url], and I'd like to modify how it responds to requests.
