how to use linux, currently i am learning from the cbt nuggets videos, i have a old pc at home which has Red Hat installed on it, my question is how do i dual boot suse and red hat together ? i have red hat installed on a physical 40GB ide hard drive and i want to install suse on another 200gb hard drive which i have lying around. i am gonna have to install suse from an iso image i have, i dont have a dvd rom drive in the pc, so how would i go about installing it from an iso and also being able to dual boot between suse and red hat ?
I have a 8 GB flash drive and a 4.3 GB DVD iso (openSUSE-11.3) Is it possible to use the flash drive to install the linux? Pendrive linux universal USB installer formats it to Fat32 which limits the filesystem to 4 GB.
I just finish setting Fedora 10 system including all the config that I like. I back up the image by using dd command.
Code: dd if=/dev/sda of=~/disk1.img
Now, I already have an image. how do I clone this image to second unit by using PXE boot server? I already have PXE boot server and it works since I installed Fedora from network (PXE boot).
I have an ISO file of MATLAB and I want to extract it to be able to run the installer. I'm not the admin of the computer and there is no 7-zip or file-roller. It has isoinfo but I don't how to use it to extract the whole ISO file and apparently I cannot mount the ISO too. way to extract the iso file?
I don't have a working DVD burner. I'd like to transfer the FC12 install DVD image to a USB thumb drive, and install from there. Is that reasonably easy to do?ow would I transfer the .iso file for the install image to the USB thumb drive in such a way that I could boot from i
I burned the DVD image of ubuntu 10.10, it is supposed to contain many packages, but during installation it does not allow me to customise my packages, it just installed by itself after disk partitioning. When i boot into ubuntu and use ubuntu software center to choose software, it installed by downloading from website, which is slow. I choose the source as DVD, but why it does not search the DVD and installed?
When playing dvd's, vob files and wmv files, the image comes with high contrast colors ,very intense red/green/blue. very dark too. I have vlc 1.1.4 installed, using ubuntu 10.10, libdvdcss2 installed. for the rest of the video formats it seems to work fine. any ideas on what should I start debugging?
I have just exported 3 png files out of gimp for a html document I'm working on right now, and they are all almost the same, except I need each to load when the user does something. So the first image will display on the page, and when a user puts their cursor over it, then it will load image 2. When they press it, it loads image 3.
I have a Canon iR3570/iR4570 PXL, and installed the driver CQue 1.0 TCP/IP Queue from Canon webpage.
The problem: - if i try to print an OpenOffice or LibreOffice Calc with an image and text, the image is not printed (the space is blank). - if i try to print an OpenOffice or LibreOffice Calc with just an image, it's printed great. - if i try to print an OpenOffice or LibreOffice Impress, the images are not printed but the text is printed great.
I was given a forensic Image which I now know is a DD image of the drive (Vista) and am trying to mount the image or extract the image to another drive. I'm not sure of the extention type or if the image is a partition or the entire drive. I think it is the entire drive.
Is it possible to mount a DD image to a device. If I can't do that I just want to extract the files to run some programs against the drive. Can I view the files under Ubuntu or do I have to remove the drive and stick it into a Vista computer.
I purchased a second drive today and was hoping the command line would be something simple.
Or am I on the wrong track, should I be doing this all in a windows environment. The reason I picked ubuntu was because of the reporting tools.
So i've been battling this for a while now, trying all sorts of different options and searching the boards before I finally decided to post this.I can't make CDs or DVDs, so my only option is to mount the downloaded ISO file on my laptop with CloneCD, then set up PXE DHCP,TFTP server. This method works on other distros but this one in particular is causing me problems in the installer.
So here's the process:I copy the files vmlinuz and initrd from the ooti386loader directory to my tftp root directory.on the system I am installing, i run gPXE, at the prompt type vmlinuz initrd=initrd.I have tried a large combination of different options {install=nfs after I have been having trouble which I will get to later.
the kernel loads, the installer starts. prompts for "Please make sure CD #1 is inserted" naturally, i hit back and select NFS as the install source. It then prompts me for DHCP configuration and the NFS server IP and directory.I'm running an NFS v3 server (haneWIN NFS to be specific) and exported the mounted ISO (this case F) as /suse.
I need module init tools 3.13 or higher. I have tried to install them from .debs I've found but after doing the make install it doesn't install them! then it says to do depmod but nothing works still! Also my wifi is super slow I have a realtek 8192CU. If I tether my phone my internet speeds are normal.
I would like to change my startup image (usplash image). For that i change /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu_logo.png and /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu_logo16.png. Then the splash screen of shutdown screen changes .But booting screen doesnot change.
Debian 5.0 Unetbootin - linux version Window-7.iso
On "Distribution" of Unetbootin drop-list I can't find Windows. However the Windows-7.iso is on Debian. I can't run Unetbootin Windows version here. Is there a solution?
I use dd command to write dvd 2 and 3 on 2 usb sticks, synaptic only have "add cd-rom" command, so ... which uri I can use to specified the usb as a repository to install from synaptic and apt-get ....
I configure my system in a long time and now I have a suitable system! But I install all directories in one partition and now I like install again, but I need make an image of my configuration for install from it and after install I don't spend time for again configuration.
I downloaded Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso and placed it on a 16GB USB drive using the Windows LiveUSB creator which had downloaded when I first download Fedora 11.The USB boots fine and I choose the language and the the keyboard layout. I tell it the image is on the USB drive it displays /images/install.img as the image.
However after going through all the steps up to choosing where I want it throws an error saying cannot find image #1 on the hard disk.Now if I boot again and instead of choosing the USB drive I hit F2 and then choose the USB drive then /Images then the install.img and press O.K. it says it isn't and just cycles around the choose drive/image.
I have downloaded Fedora-15-x86_64-DVD.iso and try to install as usual:copy the isolinux directory from the image and boot with grub，but the installer doesn't let me select the media and connects and downloads from network directory. After waiting a long time,it reports the network not available, and ask me to select repo from NFS, DVD or http/ftp, still no local hard driver. Is this a new feature of F15?
I am attempting to do a new install of OpenSUSE 11.2 x86-64 by burning a network install disk. I am having trouble getting it to work on my hardware however. Whenever I boot up with the disc, I get a "image checksum error." I have tried to redownload the image and also reburn it. The disc will boot in VirtualBox but will not boot on the machine. I do not understand what could be causing this because the CD drive in the machine is working just fine.
Anybody else get errors about the 11.2 disk image being bad? All the linux and windows software I use say it's not in the "proper" format. I also straight burned it as a bootable disk and it still doesn't work.
I want to install a OpenSuSE 11.2 in a no optical drive station. Obviously I have done a pendrive installation (following the steps in Live USB stick - openSUSE). Using Live images it works very well. But with the net install image, when I boot the station, nothing happen and it passes directly to the second boot device

Can I install ubuntu to an image file? I am using GRUB to boot my live cd, so is there a way to trick the installer into picking up an image file as another hard disk, like it is in wubi? (I am using mac)
