Try to determine if this is a person or a computer responding.

nope. I can get it through State's MSDN thing
but I dont want it..

'probably wont install it for a month after its released.. by then SP1 should be out

new microsoft products are generally really really bad and full of holes, basicaly a $300 beta program.. I've still no idea how in the elk they pull that off..

Besides FC4 is probably a hell of a lot better, eh windy?

Post by **windhound** » Wed Sep 07, 2005 3:24 am

aye =D

but I do need to redo my windows install, its nearly unusable in its current state..
slow, too large, and I believe its slowly tearing itself apart from the inside.. and I havnt logged into it in months.. should probably go in just to update virus definitions and do some clean up..

I'm missing like 10 gigs right now.. I gave windoze 50 gigs, and its all but 2 gigs full.. I cant find where the darn space went.. its just filled with nothingness.. more than likely some files I told it to delete but it never got around to, but it hid the files from me...

I want to play halo, but it goes so slow I have to tone down the graphics to where they're all icky.. so I just play Unreal 2004 in fedora

I can't believe I still haven't tried FC. I'm over my RedHatophobia, so there really is no reason not to.

I guess I just like apt-get and dpkg.

Interesting gossip:
Undefined said Undefined can't believe you still haven't tried FC.
Are you reason not to?Only just? A lot of people like that.

I like A Hard Day's Night. I'm happy you're amused.

When you repartition and stuff, I do recommend sharing an ext3 partition between Windows and Linux. You can mount it from within both (I can show you how, in Windows). That way, not only do you get to share data, if you ever need it, but you can clean it up from within Linux with all the UNIX tools (du, df, locate, etc.). Plus, you might share Wine apps (never tried that).

wouldnt it simply be easier to make a fat32 share partitian, or just put windoze on the fat?

I've heard people put their windoze xp on fat32, geuss it worked alright
was never too sure on the benifits of ntfs, 'cept that it allowed compression...

It's an inferior file system and doesn't support UNIX permissions, and it's case-insensitive, etc.

ntfs isnt writable with linux (yet)

but ext3 isnt supposed to be readable in windows o_O

Post by **The Beatles** » Wed Sep 07, 2005 4:45 am

It is read and writable. See the ext2 homepage. E2FSPROGS or something.

You're kidding.
read and writable is?I see. What do you have that is Undefined?
Or something. What are you wearing?

And NTFS is writable, but it's beta and not default.

And writable but it's beta and not default is NTFS.
