Mike Ryan Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Throw on your tux and discuss linux! (that rhymes if you pronounce it like me :wink: ) Anyways, it appears the old linux thread has gone missing and the Offtopic thread is hot on topic with linux discussion and the like, so I figured I would start a new thread. Also, this can be used to discuss Paint-Mono if you want. mods lock it if you by chance can find that rogue thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panhead Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 ok, can anyone help me with my problem from the offtopic tread ? Quote My deviantART iGraphix ~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

Mike Ryan Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yes, I suppose this is the proper place to do so. Hold on and let me check my sources Edit: In system there is a Partition Manager. From there you can view the formatting of any partitions, their properties, and you can create/edit/delete partitions. My guess is that there is a lock on the Vista partition (Vista right?) or it has been flagged. Unflag it or unlock it and you should be able to edit the amount of space it has, or create a new partition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panhead Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 ok , and what was that disco thing you wanted to know? im probably misspelling it Quote My deviantART iGraphix ~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

Mike Ryan Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 What distro (i.e. Ubuntu) and you said you are running x64 7.07 Ubuntu. And I edited my above post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panhead Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 ok, i did that, but now there is a lock by the partition, so i reflaged it, the lock is still there Quote My deviantART iGraphix ~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

Mike Ryan Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 hmmm... Strange. I really think Vista has something to do with it. How big is your HDD and how much space is vista+files taking up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panhead Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 230 GB, and the partition uses 93, and has 139 free Quote My deviantART iGraphix ~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

Mike Ryan Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 so strange. I really have no answer as I have never encountered a problem like this before. Also, I did just install linux on my Zen Vision: M now my OS can go with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ryan Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 my best bet is go buy a small external HD or a large thumbdrive and install linux onto it. That is what I just did and I must say it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panhead Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 1 gb is too small huh, i could try my 2 gb, is that to small to add on anything else, and i would be able to install an entire OS on a flash drive O_O, linux is pretty amazing EDIT: and im restarting my live session, then i will try Quote My deviantART iGraphix ~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

Panhead Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 where would i find that, and after the restart, there is no lock, so any suggestions, it is flagged with boot, and im preparing my 2G right now...

Mike Ryan Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Here is puppy linux. If you are going to use a 2gb flash drive, then download flash puppy (Click on the USB link on the top) I hope you enjoy puppy!

Panhead Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 lol, i dont want to deal with ISO images, Nero 7 can burn those though right?, but i would like to opt for the flash drive version so that i can run it on my desktop and laptop, could i install fontforge on this easily, because when i installed in on my live session, i thought it was installed, but it wasnt, when i tried to run it, it gave me some code to install it which worked Quote My deviantART iGraphix ~96% of teens won't stand up for God.
