I have an older computer that doesn't support booting from USB. Is there a boot CD that will boot an OS from USB such as the way Etherboot does for computers that don't support PXE?
View 1 RepliesI have an older compaq laptop (P4). I just wanted to be able to boot a live cd. The trouble is the only live cd I can get to boot is SUSE 9.2 and it ends up having a scripting error. It is an old disk so it is probably shot.
I have tried to get fedora 14 to boot, but it will not. A newer computer I have will boot from the FC14.
why I cannot get the live CD's to boot?
I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an older PC (for some reason 10+ locks it up) and it takes a really long time for it to boot up. After the motherboard screen passes, I see the blinking cursor on the screen like it's loading, but it takes about five minutes until it finally boots to the OS. This isn't native to Ubuntu, it did the same thing with Mint. The PC was never this slow to boot up before, but I hadn't used it in about a year. Originally, I had WinXP and Ubuntu on it and it always started up pretty quick. Would this be a hardware problem or something else?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI admit that I am a bit confused on how to proceed with this.I currently have an older version of Ubuntu (6 something) and windows vista and I have dual booting. I am trying to install 10.04 on top of the older Ubuntu and I want to keep the Windows partition. Last time I tried, I completely screwed up.I have multiple partitions now with a bunch of smaller ones that got created by mistake. I would like to re-size my partitions to have 1 main windows partition, 1 linux partition and 1 swap file partition. My HD is 160GB and I would ideally like to have the Ubuntu and Windows partitions roughly the same size.I included some screenshots of the install process and also a screenshot of my partitions.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently upgraded to Natty (11.04).The problem that is now occurring, and reoccurring, is like this:- Computer boots, but hangs on a purple screen (nothing on it). Nothing happens, after 15 minutes or so I give up waiting and hard reset.- Boot via Grub (holding shift) into recovery-mode: works fine, but I want the GUI, so I reboot.- After reboot the system hangs again, as mentioned before.- Hard reset again, and booting a previous kernel (2.6.32.8 ): works fine!- Restart again, boots in most recent kernel (2.6.38.10): works fine now.- Try to shutdown/restart again, problem re-occurs every time. So I use the workaround with the extra startup with the older kernel again.and finally typing this.

I'm using 4.4.5, so it can't be too old.What is the visibility for gnu, this is a compile for glibc.Any glibc fails for the same reason. I can't compile an older version of gcc, more errors. Is it possible to turn off the check for visibility?

Quote:
find /opt/TimesTen/tt_transaction_log/ -name "mtsDB.log*" -mtime +1 -print
following are log files which are existing, I have to delete one day older files from this location but when use above mentioned command it won't print one day older files, as i understand "-mtime" modified time, "+1" means one day older. am i correct?
Code:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI had upgraded from Samba to Samba 3x awhile ago. Which I found out that I didn't need to do because I have to update now 9 large patch releases which I have to install in order. Starting with the first one and I'm having Samba dependencies problems now. The patch releases to install are older than what's currently installed. Hopefully, once I get the conflicts resolved the rest should fall in line.

I have two older PC's, that I would like to revive, or at least make somewhat useful. I've experimented with Ubuntu and Damn Small Linux so far but I know there are probably better solutions. Computer number 1 is from (estimate) 1996, it's native OS is Win95. It has very modest specs
2GB HDD
16MB RAM
200MHz Pentium processor
CD Drive, (probably not a CD-R or CD-RW...which may explain why DSL wouldn't work.)
Currently it's mostly used to play the occasional game of Doom and word processing, and educating my little brother on how lucky he is to be growing up today. I've been wishing to use Linux on it, but Ubuntu is out of the question, and DSL refused to boot, (probably because I suck at burning discs)I tried running something called GreyCat linux on it, but that was next to useless and I had to input all sorts of commands and insert floppies just to get it to start up. I'm hopeless with CLI, I honestly don't expect much of a response for poor old computer number 1.Computer number 2 is much more optimistic. It's from around 1999-2000, it's native OS is Win98, but I gave it Win2k due to Win98 being insecure and all. Win2k is going to stop getting security updates mid 2010, so I figured I should be prepared. I tried Ubuntu on it, but that was slower than Win2k, so I don't think I could do that to my old friend (the computer), I've successfully put DSL on it, but I'm sure it's more capable than that.
-30GB HDD
-384 MB RAM
-900 or so MHz Pentium 3
-DVD drive and a CD-RW drive
Both computers have 2 USB ports each, computer number 1 doesn't seem to know it though.
I use this below script to delete the logfiles older than 1 day .find /home/cie101/madhu1 -mtime +1 -exec rm {} ;and it doesnot work properly.
