By the way, now that my Icewheasel is gone I can't post these postings right. What is it I have to reset to get it posting right on Chromium, now?

Hi, I have a problem. I was having trouble with my Icewheasel browser not doing the things it was suppose to and lagging when connecting. I used Bleachbit to clean things up, and because it still...

OK, I tried to open '/boot/grub/menu.lst' and I am getting "Permission Denied" with no explanation. Same with the file'/etc/fstab'. If I try to open the 'media/boot/sdb1/grub/menu.lst' which is the...

Here is some more information that I have discovered. While studying the boot files on the two OS's I found that there are some discrepencies on how the hard drives are mapped according to each...

OK, here is what I have managed to do on my own. It occured to me that I might be able to edit the grub as the system was booting up, so I hit the e key as the grub was displaying and went into the...

Come on people there has to be a way for me to edit the grub menu it is booting to, and to clear this one so there is only one grub. One of you guys must have the answer to this.

Still only getting one boot option for the new system boot. There has to be a way to edit the old grub istallation to access the old operating system.

This is what I got when I did that:

GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For

This is what it shows:

default 0
timeout 30

title KNOPPIX
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb2...

Also I put the entry on the grub with mcedit/boot/grub/menu.lst like you said, and hit save at the bottom, verified save, and then quit the grub editor. The entry didn't show on the menu when I...

What about the lines:
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd2,3)
chainloader +1


Are these necessary or can they be deieted, since no Windows programming is on this computer?

I have used Calibre e-book converter for some time with windows and now that I have installed Knoppix on my computer I have been trying to load books on my cell phone to no avial.206 As you can see...

by this you mean the line from fdisk above in frame three above? The disk coordinates for the programming?

OK, here is mcedit, and I have disabled no scripts for this website so we will see how it does now.

sorry about the lack of separation on these posts, but, your program keeps deleting the spaces and and lines between the information and because you limit the time to edit to so little time I have...

The old program is sdb1, and the new is sdb2. The sdb drive is an SSD, sdb3 and 4 are of course the swap files accordingly.

OK, I have been running Knoppix on a HD for about a year I guess, the program is 7.0.5, and I have been having some issues with it and Wanted to upgrade to 7.2 after I got all of the files from the...

Today I decided I wanted to try working with wine to run a program written for Windows XP that I can no longer run on a windows 7 program, and I have tried to build a new Windows XP systerm to run...

This is a very good point, but, I still wish I knew why I am looking at .Net entries, as I thought that was a Windows operation.

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ apropos eclipse

This is what the system says about eclipse, and it seems to go with the Java .Net platform...

OK, I have spent a lot of time today trying to connect a Bluetooth mouse to my Knoppix system and ran into some problems. I found a Debian page that said that allegedly I could connect the mouse...

I have to admit I don't get this. Why would there even be .NET files in a Knoppix OS? I don't even know why I would have any files for .NET anything. I certainly haven't installed any .NET on my...

OK, I think I have attached a text file copy of a chkrootkit scan I did on my Knoppix system computer, and it mentions some suspicious files and I don't know if I shouldn't worry about them, or if...
