Different Boot Loader?

AlexBell
Suppose I try to use a different boot loader when I reinstall Xandros this weekend. Should I install the other boot loader first, before Xandros? How would having the other boot loader change the installation of Xandros?.

mngdew
I've d/led and installed MDK9. 2 today. All installation went without any problems, but then there finally was a problem during the boot process. I haven't done any updates at all, but it seems like there's problem while finding dependency modules or something like that.

ok....so i didn't break it, but i have another question

frederick
Ok, nevermind the last post. Cause obviously not only am i a genius, but a patient one at that. . . . (yay for sarcasm) All I needed to was wait for a couple minutes and Linux booted right up. So I configured it and got everything how I liked it, but now I have another problem.

Windows 98 to Linux 9.0 and back again

misterfido
Alright, here's the deal. I'm new to Linux, been hearing a lot of good things about it, so I decided to download the free version of it over several days and set it up. I like to think that I'm very savvy with computers, but obviously not.

Solaris Query

mccrack_2003
I know this is a linux forum but perhaps someone here will know the answer. I need to FTP several directories from one Solaris server to another. Is there anyway to copy entire directories and their content via an FTP session ?.

Mirrix16
Ok, I am not sure if my problem is with the grub. conf, but that is my guess. Let me say that I am a noob when it comes to Linux. Currently I am running Red Hat 9 and i just installed a 3com NIC and ran a make config to try to get it to work.
