New Installation
Installing in Core 2 Duo, Intel Board, chipset 975, 2 320GB SATA II in Raid 0 with Suse 10.2, 500GB SATA II divided in half. In first half: PCLinuxOS; 2nd half for LinuxMint. I want LinuxMint as my main distro, but I want to know if everything will be automatic or if I will have to edit fstab, menu.lst, etc?? ( Newbie; left Windblows 4 months ago. Never looked back. ) Thank you for your help.

The installer used by Mint and Ubuntu makes an excellent job and preserves your grub settings, the new menu.lst contains the settings needed to boot the rest (Unlike some other installers)
No need to edit fstab, unless you want to get rid of the ugly UUID
I strongly advice against RAID0, the risk for complete data loss is seriously increased (more than doubled)

Followed you advice. Set all my hard drives to non-raid, and installed. I'm now writing to you from my new, sparkling, excellent LinuxMint. I have omly two questions: is there a firewall here? and I used to 'fish' from my other computer in the LAN through Konqueror, but now I can't, even though I enabled the Network setting to 'allow other to see and command your Desktop'. What am I missing? Thanks a lot.
fish:// protocol, e.g. in Konqueror ... fish://yourusername@remotehost => that will open the remote location via a SSH connection and you can drag & drop files between hosts.Husse wrote:Sorry, but I don't understand that part.....used to 'fish'
GNOME has a similar feature with its "Connect to Server" program.
