Lose GRUB and boot from CD

SlimPickens

Greetings. Although a noob to FC3, I recall booting RedHat from diskette and not installing any loaders. I've looked around and it seems you can't boot FC3 from diskette(?). So I want to make a bootable CD that will boot my kernal and leave Windoze out of it.

Some USB mounting questions

ktchinn

I am able to mount my USB flash drive but I have to enter the line in the etc/fstab everytime, make the directory in the mnt directory, then the mount command. Is there a way to have this automatically done when I plug the USB drive in? It is a Lexar 256MB flash drive.

hupjack

So I've got a Sony PCG-SR17K that I refurbed and I'm giving Linux a try for the first time. I found with plenty of info from folk putting linux on this hardware. A trusty friend recommended Mandrake 10, so I've setup a dual boot with win 2k and Mandrake 10.

Removing an OS from the GRUB boot loader.

Cardinal

Hello everyone. I'm using Fedora Core 2 and updated the kernel with yum. When I reboot I notice an older version of the kernel is still showing in the boot screen. I would like to edit the boot options so only the updated build of Fedora is shown and also XP, that is set up to dual boot.

Setting $PATH environment variable in Bash

I have just installed MySQL and I am getting tired of having to type the full path name to start the server manually (/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe user=mysql). I thought I would add this path to my $PATH environment variable.

Favorite Desktop Environment

clutch

So, what's your fav? I prefer Fluxbox on systems I use all the time, and on systems with low resources (or VMs in VPC). I also use KDE on systems that I just need up and running quickly, and on VMs running in VMWare Workstation, and now on VMWare ESX Server in the lab.
