Grub ???

abende
Hi I'm traing to install Fedora Core 2 in addition to Windows XP OS. I have partitioned my WD 80GB hard in 5 partition with 1 first partition for WinXP and the second partition in another 4 segment (1 for WinXP and 3 for Linux (/, swap, /home)).

ks.cfg location

BenInTx
The following is from Red Hat 9 Manual. 7. 8. 2. Creating a Kickstart Boot CD-ROM To perform a CD-ROM-based kickstart installation, the kickstart file must be named ks. cfg and must be located in the boot CD-ROM's top-level directory.

Red Hat 6.2

Dapper Dan
Just for fun, I downloaded the ISO for Red Hat 6. 2 to see what Linux and Red Hat was like way before I started running it. It is extremely primitive to install by today's standards, although I never could get past the partitioning.

Compile question

anthonyi
I've just started out with Linux (Fedora Core 2) and have been experimenting with compiling from SRPMs. I noticed on compiling xmms that the resulting executable file is much bigger than that installed by the rpm itself.

Logitech MX510 drivers

R3ckl3ss
Is there a driver for the Logitech MX510 optical mouse? If so where could I get them and how the heck do you install them. I'm new to Linux but I'm convinced that Windows is EVIL!! So I'm willing to try out Linux and hopefully switch soon.

Lindows/Linspire

Double0Three
Just wondering what's going on with that. . . is Lindows like a front end/desktop for Linux, or is it like a completely different distribution? It looks like it's a distribution all on it's own, but I haven't heard anyone talk about it, or see it mentioned on sites discussing the different distros.
