shai Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>> I have some of those...so, the male or female end? Female, is my guess. And, yes...we're all gonna die, but I'm not in a hurry one way or the other...sheesh, you think that a bunch of tech guys would be impressed that someone even THOUGHT to ask these kinds of questions. You know...I need to do this first. What do you know about BIOS for a Micron Millennia? It's got an ASUS board and Celeron processor...some old box my roommate found in Berkeley. As usual, he wants me to wave my magic wand over it and say, "ALA PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES!" and make it work. It seems to be another Phoenix BIOS, which is cool because I'm familiar with them...I just need to switch around the boot order and look at a couple settings, make sure they're good to go. It seems like it was a nice setup at the time...there's some interesting stuff here to play with. It didn't have an ethernet card, but I happened to have one laying around, lucky guy. He's been patient, so I want to surprise him when he gets back. Oh, it's going to be running Linux, of course...in case that makes a difference.

shai Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>> Hey, Ride The Fire...there's usually a config screen that will ask you to choose between Xorg or Xvesa...did you see that? If you're on AIM, I'm CoolCalmChris...I can try to guide you through it. Maybe casek will jump in, as well. Better yet, use Mepis. Knoppix seems to be more troble than it's worth (sorry, casek), and Mepis fires right up...plus, it has apt-get, so all the packages you can get in Knoppix are available. Trust me on this.

Mainter Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>> damn bro you sure you are ready for linux? Put MEPIS Linux CD in and boot up and play around see if it detects your hardware properly, etc. now once your ready to install just click MEPIS Installation Center link on your desktop.

shai Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>> Hey, RTF- I'm on here and AIM for at least the next 45 minutes. If you got the login screen for MEPIS, that's a good thing, you're doing fine...the logins are "root" for root and "demo" for demo. Root gives you the option of installing to HD, demo is just a live CD session w/o root access. I'll tell you how to set up your boot sequence....when you get back to me. It's a very easy system to use. Don't be scurred. Oh, this is important- If you plan on installing ANYTHING to your HD, either use an old HD...or backup anything you don't want to erase to another drive or CD, because you'll have to format and partition your HD and thus wipe out anything on there. The installer will explain all of this, but I want to stress the point. I only had to do this once to learn the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
