Linux Mint Forums

I use dosbox for some work related dos programmes and it runs them without a hitch!
I think it was intended for games, however i've never tried any games in it.

I think that would be:

you can also use k3b to make an iso image from a bootable cd.
just use the copy cd option, check "only create image" ,choose your output path,
then choose start.
instead of burning a cd it will create an iso image.

there's a lot of grub repair info here: http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php ... _your_grub

Very well said indeed!!!!

hmm
to me it sounds like you don't have enough ram but you said
it's a new machine so, I assume you have more than 384MB?
other than that i'm not sure.

anyone else have any ideas??

christof999, f.y.i. i'm not a developer. maybe you didn't know this either but, most of us in the community are users just like you. some are very linux savvy (and amazing!!) people. some are average in there linux knowledge (I put myself here) and some are newbee's(like you) lookin for help. so.......

just strolled in.

Daryna is HOT!!!

happy mint b-day!!!!

I was especially disappointed since I can run Celena flawlessly. Ahhh, I did not know THIS. then I think your solution is easy: why not stick with Celena???????? nobody says you have to upgrade every time! besides Celena just came out what, a month ago? ok, so you tried Daryna it didn't like your h...

go to control center, choose appearance, then from the
visual effects tab, select none.

I agree! daryna is much better than xp.

To check md5 in windows I think you need third party software. here's a link to one I found with google:

I dont know how good it is becouse I don't use windows!

like boo, I would also recommend burning as slow as possible.

Someone asked if I bought Mint. Id like to adress this point, since whenever any user complains that linux is not working someone chimes in with this. this is not the point I was trying to make. the point I was trying to make is in the 3 posts above this one! they just say it a lot better than I do...

I'm totally satisfied with MintLinux... I too am totally satisfied with mint :D Im sure the issues could be fixed, but thats my point. I wouldnt want to buy a new car, drive it off the lot and spend 10 days repairing it in my driveway before it works you bought Mint???? in the past, I bought window...

looks nice and seems quicker
I like it.

Go to control center, choose appearance preferences, select customize.
then under controls try mist! it makes everything transparent exept your
window list when open.

oooo thats good!!!!!!!!

thanks for a good laugh

Why use linux???

stability

configurability

the community's are great

open source is great
