598074 2007-10-05 04:14:00 OK . . . I quit on Kubuntu . . . but I have tried a reboot with the PCL . iso in the cd-drive and it still restarts in Kubuntu .

How can I get it to open and/or run the . iso and get away from Kubuntu?

I want to fdisk and start all over .

Do I need to reinstall 98SE to get the disk cleaned again?

English please .

598075 2007-10-05 04:20:00 I can't really add anything about kubuntu for SJ... but for those interested PClos comes with a special menu./setup for HP printers (yep, including usb ones I think).

From memory it had quite a list of different printer brands in the general printer set-up menu and my fairly new Konica Minolta laser printer worked no problem... Linux are finally getting with the play :rolleyes:

SJ, I'll give you a wooden nickel if you can find a complete man page manual for kubuntu that makes sense :D

disclaimer: anything I say about linux is from memory- I am old... my memory is older... you get the idea. I don't need to be wrinkled and flame grilled if it aint there

598076 2007-10-05 04:23:00 SJ, won't PClos run as a live version booting from CD? Then you just click on the install icon on the desktop and the wizard thingie gives you the options of formatting the drive (ie keeping or wiping kubuntu) Shortcircuit (1666)
598077 2007-10-05 04:26:00 Um, it sounds like the box you're using might not have CD drive as 1st boot in bios?

I would have thought anything in the CD drive with it as 1st boot would run in preference to the installed OS?

598078 2007-10-05 05:01:00 Yeah...it blinks the cd drive and then just opens Kubuntu.

I have the sequence set up thus:

Floppy (A)
CD-Drive (D)
HDD (C)
USB (J)
NETWORK (Z)

598079 2007-10-05 05:05:00 Is there any way to get to a default setting in Kubuntu?

I would like to undo all the stuff I did and get things back to normal.

Do not let me play with your nuclear reactor either.

I'll remember that SJ . . . strangely I've heard it before from my 'acquaintances', but what's a barbie between friends :blush:

There's sumting wrong with your CD if that's the boot order because it's starting the CD from the bios before it should be getting anywhere near the HD and kubuntu .

Sure you've got the disc right way up in the drive? :D

Can'tt say I've ever seen a 'default' in Linux and no system restore that I know of . . . only Macs need them LOL

598081 2007-10-05 05:22:00 I Googled and got this to return to default:

Hit CTRL+ALT+F

then enter this

rm -rf . gnome2 . gconf . gconfd . metacity

then hit this

CTRL+ALT+F7

Then log in and it's all like b4 you messed it all up .

OK . . well . . I can't figger this out either .

I did this at least a dozen times so far and it just sits there and does nothing .
