Here's the url: a814.l1977144512.c19771.g.lm.akamaistream.net I clicked the link, it opened directly in Konqueror (web browser), i pushed the play button, went into the lounge, turned the amplifiers on, and there was your favourate radio staion coming out my speakers.	personthingy (1670)

They are the best that I have seen and are prepared by a guy called "saist". Firstly, I saved them as an html and then I copied them to a CD and fired up another computer with the installation guide running and had it alongside mine when going through the installation process. I am talking about the stage after you have tried the live CD and wish to take the next step and install. Perhaps if you googled on Saist, you might find them. The two guides that I found most helpful are: Mepis Installation Guide and Mepis Dual booting guide There is another on the installation of Thunderbird. Another place to have a look is the current set of blogs by Geoff Palmer on Press F1. Coincidentally, he is taking people through the installation of Mepis 3.4.3 (I think). There is a later version but the specs of 3.4.3 look impressive. Happy hunting. Jim :)	Hhel (8073)

Thanks a lot! Now I am going to go at this install full-bore . . . if I can figger out the partitioning thing, anyway! Right now it looks like Mepis . Going to Google those installation guides too . . . . . . ! THX Hhel	SurferJoe46 (51)
462142	2006-06-12 19:01:00	I am installing Mepis as a dual-boot, and I get into the root/root area ok with the dark red desktop ok . Drilling down using this puter as a reference library ( . mepisguides . com/install/install-dual-drives/Install-with-dual-boot-and-clear . html" target="_blank">www . mepisguides . com), and installing on the DELL to my left I get to the qtparted, and then it seems to run normally . Then when I inquire by clicking on hdb in the results, where I want to put Mepis, the next card pops up blank, another comes up blank and then I get an error message that I have to go back to instruction #1 . Around and around I go . . . about 10 times so far and still I cannot install . I know that Windows is installed on hda, and it sees that drive ok, just when I click on hdb all hell breaks loose . HELP! :badpc:	SurferJoe46 (51)

Are you sure you are selecting your slave drive and not the CD device? The slave drive works OK otherwise? What is the error message you see? qtparted sees all the drives, /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/hdd, but cannot seem to see the partitions on /dev/hdb when I click on hda, it sees: 01 /dev/hda-1 ntfs active and the 02 /dev/hda-1 free Hidden and if I click on hdb, it gets the info card to jump up, but it is blank and then I get sent to part #1 again and again . Is the problem perhaps that there's something "hidden" on hdb? I notice that hda has a description as "active", and the sample site with the instructions shows "Hidden" on the hdb, so I imagine it's ok to see that sort of results . Confused to say the least . . . . . :confused: I DID notice that I had to run the Mepis live disc from my d drive/cd-rom, but it won't run on the other e drive/cd-rw . Just some further dumb info maybe .	SurferJoe46 (51)
462145	2006-06-13 01:12:00	HEY EVERYBODY!!! I AM A LINUX USER . . sort of . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I am running mepis right now on this puter! :D I said to hell with it and moved everything I needed for XP off the 40gig and formatted it via Mepis, and did the whole install here . :D It works . . . let me see if I like it a lot or not . :xmouth: I have a lot of utilities to add here and I gotta get busy .

462146	2006-06-13 08:52:00	Well done Joe :) Don't forget to download the user guide (www.mepis.org) if you haven't already. :)	Jen (38)
462147	2006-06-13 16:39:00	Well done Joe :) Don't forget to download the user guide ( . mepis . org/node/6679" target="_blank">www . mepis . org) if you haven't already . :) Jen: If I DO get a virus that does not affect Mepis, but has the potential of damaging XP, can it get over to the other side of the puter and harm my dual-booted XP version? So far, all is well except for my favorite radio station . I cannot see how to enter the url to make it run . Strange areas and icons are confusing yet . Do I just click on Kaffein (sp?) and let it try to find it, or add the url or load up the web page and then try to use it's player . I tried the url technique . . . not working for me . . . but it might just be me again .	SurferJoe46 (51)

The only way you could transfer a virus, is to say downloadload something, store it, and then open it up using XP, although XPs own virus scanner *should* pick it up when you boot up in XP . If you have no shared areas, then you will be fine . Hmmmmmmm . . . . OK . . . The internet radio thing . . . . . . . It works for me, i'm running Mepis 3 . 3-4, and i put the URL you specified directly into konquerors location bar . Just this time i simply clicked on it, and it opened in a new tab (i think new window is the default option, but i prefer tabs) Using firefox works just as well, except there are no pretty visualizations . I'm just wondering, do you have any sound at all? Sometimes sound is installed with a very clever "muted by default" setting . . . . . :(	personthingy (1670)
