| 244619 | 2004-07-12 07:57:00 | Thanks Chill, just what I was looking for. I'd like it to look/feel a bit like windows. Looks like you have to pay for Xandros :( Or I might try the free bittorrent download, unless there were some NZ ftp mirrors floating round. Ark linux is in the emule que with no sources. I've looked through the ftp mirrors for it and its an absolute maze to find what you are looking for! |

| 244622 | 2004-07-12 08:12:00 | Oops - forgot to specify exactly what you need to look for. Ark Linux is up to alpha12 as the latest version. Use this ftp as an example: ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/arklinux/1.0-0.alpha12.1/iso/ arklinux-1.0-alpha12.iso <--- this is the install disc, gives you a basic setup ark-extra-software-1.0-alpha12.iso <--- this contains lots of extra packages ark-development-suite-1.0-alpha12.iso <--- this contain the development tools and extra kernels etc ark-extra-languages-1.0-alpha12.iso <--- support for languages other than English ark-server-software-1.0-alpha12.iso <--- packages for servers All the iso's labelled sources contain the sources for all the packages instead, you do not need these. You could just use the Install disc alone, but the extra-software and development-suit might come in handy, it depends on how adventurous you are planning to be :) |

| 244625 | 2004-07-12 08:34:00 | Ahh now I see, thanks for sorting that out Jen it all makes sense now! :) I'll search through a few more servers to use as mirrors for the download. Then flashget can really make use of the connection! ;) |

| 244626 | 2004-07-12 09:29:00 | Hey Kiki, Im putting Xandros OCE on my FTP Server for Gods-Hitman. You'll both be sharing my 128kbps connection for the next two days, but it'll get you Xandros none-the-less.... Email me: Chill [at] dimension [dot] net [dot] nz And I'll send you a URL if you want. Chill. |

| 244628 | 2004-07-12 21:24:00 | >If you grab Knoppix or any of a few other Live Linux CD's you can use a program called qtparted. It allows non-destructive resizing of Fat/ntfs partitions and doesnt cost a cent! I have just installed Libranet 2.8 (after a few months in the wilderness) and I set up the partition with "BootLt NG" a free one that works off a floppy. I used it as the partitioner with Libranet didn't seem to want to work with NTFS. But, what I did was, just used BootLt NG to resize NTFS then I used Libranet to create Linux partitions on the free space and it worked well. Just thought this comment might be helpful. |
