| 226513 | 2004-04-01 08:26:00 | Yep, I am using it to do this post. Installed no problem on a PII 400 with 128MB, 4GB hard drive (ok, it is a bit slow). Got it off the April PC Authority magazine so it you want to try Xandros, a very WIndows like linux distro, pop down to your magazine shop and hand over your hard earned cash. Note, its the standard version so it doesn't include Crossover Office (its supposed to wet you appetite). |

| 226517 | 2004-04-01 22:19:00 | Yeah I did the same it installed properly, including nvidia graphics and n-force drivers, and worked perfectly, unfortunately my boot floppy has died and i am a bit stumped as to how to add it to my existing boot manager (grub with win2k and SuSE 8.2). So any linux gurus your help is needed!! |

| 226518 | 2004-04-01 22:32:00 | Nigel> Mount your Xandros partition (Im pretty sure they just give you a / and a SWAP partition), then check ouy /boot/grub/grub.conf Take note of what it says and post the whole thing on here, along with your HDD layout (eg /dev/hda1 = Windows C, /dev/hda3 = /boot on SuSE or whatever..) and somebody will be able to help you out :-) Chill. |

| 226519 | 2004-04-01 22:43:00 | I am actually unable to mount it, unless the installation disk is also a rescue disk (might try it), Suse wont let me mount the Xandros partition so i cant check anything that way toddles off to try that |

| 226520 | 2004-04-02 04:49:00 | SuSE will let you mount it. Chances are you're specifying the wrong partition... Try booting of Knoppix otherwise and it'll show you all your partitions and have them all ready to view automatically. Then you can post your grub.conf file from Xandros. Cheers Chill. |

| 226521 | 2004-04-02 05:26:00 | DD, I would be interested to know if your Mozilla also has a micro-sized font as compared with IE in Windows. I'm beginning to think this problem is very much a Xandros or generic Linux problem. Funny no one has mentioned this in relation to other linux distributions though. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 226522 | 2004-04-02 09:06:00 | Hi Terry, My feeling is that it is a browser issue in the first instance as I have experienced different font sizes with different browsers under Windows. I think different OS's just compounds things. Yes I have noticed the very small font but tend to ignore it as I mainly use IE :o as I have to develop sites for this browser. I will observe more closely. DD |
