| 267362 | 2004-08-31 19:56:00 | Good one Jack :^O :^O :^O XP2 will be a headache but all that preparing that Linux users have to go through should help them understand what we are going through. Having said that, I actually went to the Yoper Home site in the early hours. Had a look at some screen shots and it does look good. Esp. the blue cobbled street,hanging lantern etc. Followed threads of an earlier post, Chilling Silence made Yoper easy to install and use. Was impressed with the fact he didn't do any fanatical "sell" on it. I would consider trying it out if I understood dual booting and partitioning. But would always keep windows as well because my programs wouldn't work on the open system. |

| 267365 | 2004-08-31 23:59:00 | Lol Baldy, yes they should and I'll encourage it's purchase but I was also going to add a few security goodies with help files I've written, like how to install a programme ;). This will be about CD version 3 and is more in the way of a preemptive strick I know I'll need because they'll be ringing me up or sending emails soon. The laughable thing is they can't tell the difference between me and an expert, very sad. Chill, BIOS is set to boot to floppy then CD then HDD, always is. Boot choices are: Mepis (Linux, default), failsafe, memtest & MSWin but I've figured that isn't the problem as Knoppix will boot fine. MD5's check ok for both downloaded and burnt iso's. For some reason it's just not bootable (2 discs burnt so far) will have to look at my Nero settings although, initially they look fine. Cheers Murray P |

| 267367 | 2004-09-01 00:29:00 | Alongside me is my other computer - XPpro - which my son uses. Keeps him off mine, but when I suggested that he install SP2, no way. Quite happy with his firewall & AVG. I'm inclined to agree with him, but then he is computer savvy and knows the traps out there. For Joe Bloggs, a different story maybe. Bye |
