Finally boot complete. Clicked link to install Mint. Here you went wrong! When Min is running on a livedvd and you want to install it onto your harddrive first: 1. Start GParted from the livedvd in order to check your hard-drive(s). 2. Find the drive which is used to start your system (generally sd...

I've often repartioned and resized Win XP NTFS drives to install linux with GParted. Never had an issue. But recently, when i first resized a Win7 NTFS partition, GParted gave an error message and the drive with valuable data was "gone". Fortunately, I found "testimage" (free for...

I don't know how you tried to update your BIOS, seems to be from Linux. You do not need Linux to update a BIOS. The Dell BIOS for the Latitude 600 is here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=&SystemID=LAT_...

Not all real bugs, but nevertheless: I tested the installed version on Dell Latitude E6400 on external USB-HDD : 1) Pressing "enter" in boot-menu to start the highlighted choice (mint8) takes a few minutes wait and nothing visible happens. 2) The text in the welcome screen shifts when this...

Tested the livecd on Dell Latitude E6400: No show stoppers so far. First message (boot count-down) misses hint to press any button to get the full menu! The pulsating Mint Logo during boot (not in the installed version) is a very elegant finding! The wallpaper is ugly! Please keep Mint Dew! This wil...

First, you'll need a separate boot-partition and then install your favourite theme there. Then you can create as much partitions with multi-boot installs as you like without changing your initial GRUB on your separate boot-partition. Multi-boot with chainloading is the easiest way. For all the info ...

booting from iso sounds delicious, no more need to run to the desktop to burn CD to boot off (and less heating for my laptop, two birds!) ... this option alone is worth it! With GRUB Legacy every distro needs a different "hack" and costs more time and effort than burning and finally wasti...

Please look here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=29585&start=15#p195818 The workhorse and racehorse situation there complies with your situation. When you press "advanced" ( the button above the "install" button) in step 7 of the installation procedure (y...

Irina is a Slavic feminine given name, meaning peace (from ancient greek εἰρήνη).

1. Boot your computer with the LiveCD. 2. Press install and follow the procedure. If your hard disk is completely unformatted the automatic install will do fine. If you want to format your hard disk yourself, start Partition Editor (Menu -> Administration). When finished you can install as described...

I'm using Linux and Mint for about 2-3 months. I've access to 3 different PC's and a portable USB-HDD. Mint is permanently installed on all of them now. :D My Linux Starter & Rescue Set Linux Mint 7 Gloria LiveCD's (32 and 64bit) ... if everything else should fail and as tool for repairing windo...

Mint7 Gloria Gnome:
Menu -> Office -> OpenOffice.org Presentation

Is that what you seek?

Did you unmount the partition before trying to change them?

Here's a couple of links to some pretty informative material (opinion) regarding GRUB & GRUB2 authored by a friend of mine (it's on the Kubuntu Boards): For GRUB2 Beginners: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3106368.0 General GRUB Toolkit: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php...

Finally I found the solution here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=23516 Searching the forums especially How-to/Tutorials would have saved me some time ...I learned my lesson! So with Mint7 Gloria 32bit & usb-creator I finally could create a PERSISTENT LiveUSB pendrive . I ...

Gees, I did your routine and thought it would have worked, but I do not see an Administration sub-menu. I'm running Felicia XFCE, btw. ?? This seemed to be the easiest solution. skicrazer, the described procedure was with Mint Gloria Gnome. A dont know Felicia and XFce yet, but after the installati...

Plumtree, Using Ubuntu 9.04, I managed to get Mint burnt and running but it is not persistent. In your recent attempt, did you use USB-Creator in Mint or Ubuntu? My recent attempt was with a 2GB USB stick on Mint Gloria 32bit. As far as I can remember, I could get a persistent USB pendrive with Ubun...

plumtreed and others, I can confirm that the created LiveUSB pendrive is working, but NOT persistent! I followed the procedure described here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=33280&p=192086#p192086 It was persistent with Ubuntu 8.10 (32bit) when I followed the same procedure...

Skicrazer, indeed some of the several instructions are a bit confusing, because it seems that LiveUSB pendrives can be created from a Linux as well as a Windows box. Quote: "I'm having these issues with other apps I desire to install, as well, but cannot figure out how to get them into the Pkg ...

Found this link: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-linux- ... n-windows/ in order to create it from a Windows box.

If you have Mint or Ubuntu already running, install "usb-creator" with the Package Manager.
