Linux help

[Wossi]

Right, my media pc is all built and it boots up :D Only problem is, I downloaded the files for linuxmce but I can't them as an image onto a cd :confused: I open up nero and click the burn image button, only there is nothing coming up even though the all the files are there. Is there something I need to do with all the files to make an iso image in the first place or am I being really special?

Wait, you downloaded an .iso image which contains the bootable LinuxMCE installer, right? I don't see why Nero wouldn't burn it. Perhaps you could try ImgBurn.

Sorted it, winrar had decided that it was a good idea to make me think they were .rar files I had downloaded not .iso files :angry: solution. Delete winrar :D

Of course I would figure this out after I had installed XP and got most of the updates :(

How's it coming along, Wossi? Are you having success?

[Wossi]

Gave up on Linux, tried it and didn't like it :( shame really, need to spend more time playing around with it and learning about linux in general before moving to it fully.

it's definately one it takes a little getting used to. I was reasonably good with linux but it still took a little getting to using it full time when i switched jobs.. Now i wont look back if i can help it, if for no other reason than everything i need or want is in the repositories..

It's like any other os i guess, windows included, you just have to get used to the quirks.:)

I've been through so many OSes in my time they all end up feeling the same to me now (t'is why I'm a bit of a console monkey). Even though I'd written device deivers at college I still had some odd phobia of kernel compiles though for reasons unknown. Gentoo fixed that.

I now kinda wished I had given it a proper go. I can't get my wireless pci adapter working under vista 64bit :( stupid lazy linksys techs, still haven't got round to releasing the drivers yet, 32bit is there but can't use them on a 64 bit machine :(

Lesson learned. :p

Having said that, Linux has it's own set of woes with wireless hardware.
