Back again Amir.
Ran the commands or would it be termed a script just like you said in a terminal, and your instructions to a T. All went really well mate. Refreshed Yarssar, working fine. After reboot i went into Synaptic, i changed nothing from the above settings i gave on my second reply to the topic i started. Did a reload, check for broken packages, NIL, mark all UPDATES, NIL. So no broken packages , no updates. The terminal job worked just fine mate. Much appreciated putting that all together for me, i mean that. You obviously really know what goes on under the bonnet of the Linux system. The whole system is running beautiful, its a really great distro, packed with apps. I got serious with Linux when i started playing about with PCLinux 2007. Before that i gave Freespire a run, years ago. They are now taken over by Xandros. And Suse in bed with Micro to a degree. Im not a distro basher, never will be, all have pro's and cons.
Very experienced with XP and now getting more experience with Win 7, have to mate, i make a few bucks out of it. Now that 7 is out work will drop off.
To the other fella, i know about using the dvd or cd to reinstall etc, Iused to do remasterme on pclos and the live cd for that distro comes in handy to fix the boot partitions etc. I love this Grub Beta. Picks up the Win 7 partition on here writes it to grub and it actually boots windows. Could not do that with earlier versions of grub dual booting Vista or Win 7. Had to install a program into windos, easybcd, at install, get grub written to root partition etc. And my XP key (retired xp now), done that many installs with that disk, i know off by heart, anyone want it? HXHPK-YGP92-9KK6M-///////-/////, JUST JOKING FOR ANYONE THINKING HERE IS A FREEBIE, better not.
This is also really quick to boot and fast running, the 64 bit takes advantage of the dual core plus i have a fairly fast sata. So thanks again Amir and others, Wish i had started my learning and interest in computers on Linux instead of Microsoftly. I would naturally understand and be more proficient at file locations, terminal use and on and on. Nice to be a member of a very helpful, friendly forum, Cheers for now, Wayne, (aka; Jeddaboy) When i have time i will fill in my user details, contact, location, hardware set up etc.
