| wilberfan2 | XP, Ubuntu, and openSuse 10.2 tries secret tri-boot handshake |
| doje | LOL, WinBorg - I never heard that one :-) |
| wilberfan2 | me neither.... |
| EisBlade | *sticks out 2 fingers and shakes back* |
| wilberfan2 | sounds like a tennis player... brb... |
| EisBlade | no? ha. it's a downloadable DVD, fully loaded/registered/hacked XP sp2, full of apps, firewalls..all you'd need to run with no need to contact MS for anything. |
| doje | i was trying to make my machine tri-boot suse/xp/dos (for ghost) to no avail |
| action | kkathman cant remember the last time I actually booted my kubuntu partition :) |
| kkathman | cant remember the last time I actually booted my kubuntu partition :) I actually need to dump that first drive and reinstall on my second drive, but its too much trouble |
| EisBlade | why is that tri-b hard? install dos, install xp with it's menu to include DOS, then SuSE should pick up the XP. |
| wilberfan | ah...my first beryl glitch... I just ctrl-alt-backspaced and logged back in... desktop came up then went completely white... |
| kkathman | wilberfan: dont do that lol |
| EisBlade | I need to do the same...want to switch from IDE to SATA all the way. |
| kkathman | lesson learned |
| wilberfan | duh! why not, oh sensei....? |
| doje | I don't know how to install dos these days :< |
| wilberfan | and more importantly...how to make it all bettah? |
| kkathman | EisBlade: well I have hda that has kubuntu, but then I added hdb and put suse on it, but of course the system boots from hda :( |
| wilberfan | another ctrl-alt-F1 exercise, perchance? |
| kkathman | so I'll have to back up everything, pull out the hda, and reinstall everything on hdb |
| EisBlade | dos is all diskette install, about 3, I think. |
| kkathman | unless I can actually find a way to write a boot on hdb |
| wilberfan | %C2 fights urge to reinstall 10.2 |
| EisBlade | kk: what about bios? can't set boot priority to be hdb? brb ok, back. doje - still here? |
| doje | yeah |
| EisBlade | take a sec to look over this post on WinBorg, and you'll know what I mean... http://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=886820 |
| doje | is it possible to onstall dos without a floppy - that's one of my main probs i think |
| EisBlade | i don't think so....wellll, unless you copy all 3 disks to a usb - you could probably install it that way. |
| doje | install* - typing in dark |
| EisBlade | format usb to FAT, copy all dos files. run setup.exe |
