  3. Basically what we're going to do with NTLoader is use NTLoader to boot into Linux's bootloader which then boots Linux, why someone would do that when Grub works perfectly fine booting Windows on NTFS? Who knows what reason other than it could destroy their MBR and make both OS inaccessible or at least render Linux useless till it's recovered, NTLoader is not specifically designed to boot other Operating Systems other than Windows. We will be using 2 Hard Drives, this is not necessary, we could use 2 partitions on a hard drive, but we should have the Operating Systems seperated, to make it easier on ourselves. The hard drives are configured on the primary IDE controller (could use SATA, SCSI, etc but for this it's IDE), one hard drive setup as Master (C:) where Windows XP will be installed and the Other drive setup as Slave (D:). First install Windows XP to the first hard drive, this should be easy enough and not require instructions on how to do this. Next install your choice of Linux, for this I am using Fedora Core 3 and using the GUI installer, this is simple enough too. There will be an option that gets you to configure your bootloader, default installation uses Grub, we need to configure it more and there's a checkbox at the bottom of the screen that allows us to do advanced configurations on it, check it then click next, we should be at the advanced configuration screen and there's two choices for booting using the MBR or installing it on our 2nd Hard Drive /dev/hdb we want to install it on our 2nd hard drive so choose the second option. Now just continue with the installation. Fedora Core 3 has 4 installation CDs and 1 Rescue CD or we can replace the installation CDs with 1 DVD, You will need a rescue disk of some sort, or at least a program that can boot you into your OS from floppy or CD or other means, Red Hat/Fedora use to create Floppy disks for this type of installation but it seems to be non-existant in my quick install of it, so I needed an alternative method. Knoppix Live CD is also quite handy for this and should be kept as a Linux Recovery Tool. After installation, I rebooted with the Rescue CD in, I press Enter to enter Rescue mode and had my root of my linux partition found and given a bash prompt, I then chroot'ed to this part of the drive. I then placed a formatted blank floppy in the drive and mounted it. mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy next I found out which drive contained the boot information, there should exist two, one for Windows and one for Linux. fdisk -l (this is a lowercase "L") This should display a table of the partitions and have an asterisk (*) marked where boot information exists. Since we need to know where the boot information is for the 2nd drive we know it's got to be /dev/hdb? where ? is the partition that has it. For this we will assume it's /dev/hdb1. Next we copy the boot section to our floppy disk, make sure it's still in the drive. dd if=/dev/hdb1 bs=512 count=1 of=/media/floppy/linux.img If all goes well we should have linux.img residing in our floppy disk ls /media/floppy/* Now 'exit' till it reboots, remove the rescue CD and floppy disk. Boot into Windows and put the floppy disk back in, copy linux.img from A: over to C:\ Right-Click My Computer, go to Properties and click on the Advanced Tab, Next click on Startup and Recovery's Setting, where we will can edit our boot.ini file, so click on edit to edit our boot.ini. We now add underneath the [operating systems] tag, and the last entry to the file C:\linux.img="Choose the name you want to display here" Save the file and close, now back at this screen we can choose the default OS to boot, I've left it as Windows, I also lowered the time for waiting to around 8 seconds. Remove the floppy disk and reboot the system, we are now presented with NTLoader with the option of booting Windows or Choose the name you want to display here, So we select out Linux boot, it will now boot into Grub, what's the point in using 2 bootloaders? I'll leave that up to you, so now once in Linux, we go through the final configuration, setup etc. In your distribution, you should know how to get to your bootloader configuration via terminal or GUI, I would use terminal but my favourite console based editor is not available until I install it so I'll use the bootloader GUI found in system settings, there I set the timeout to 1 second so I am not shown the Grub bootloader, configure this how you like, you may have multiple kernels you would prefer to run, so you may like to use Grub bootloader as well as NTLoader. And that's all folks, comments and suggestions are all welcomed. Cheers, MC
  4. in january im going away for 7 months before coming home to uni where i could be active again - i dont know what internet accessibility i will have, but should be able to get to internet cafe's if i cant get online at home.what do you suggest i do about keeping active on this forum? - i mean, if you're going to want me to post as much as i am doing now then if i find out i wont have internet access at home then i might have to find another host for when i go and come back to you once im home again or something....so yeah a rough guide as to how active you would want me to be given the circumstances would be very useful to me..of course if i have internet access at home when i get there there shouldnt be a problem and i can continue frequenting this board..but i like to know where i stand just in case.thanksSimeon

  8. i dont think there is much doubt that he was funding a large amount of terrorist organisations Also, i dont like him being referred to as a madman - psycho is more fitting. He knew what he was doing - and was not clinically insane....'madness' seems to bring with it a bit of acceptability - because it suggests he was out of control....he was not out of control, and was just driven by evil motives.
  9. To both of you...I've beated it five times on X-box; I was insanely hooked on that game for my last year in high schoolAs far as the better Lightsaber combo; you just got to play around with it; I mean at the end of one game; can't remember if I was good or dark (I've done both to the end a couple times through) anyways; my combo was up in the 20s or 30s so I was pretty damn deadly as you can see; it got to a point where I could take someone who wasn't a boss out in one hit but it took me time to get that deadly...so just keep at it; its such an awesome game!
  10. 1) blair follows him in the same way any british PM would do - the link between america and britain is very important economically, Ultimately bush has enough power that he can turn around say 'im doing this' and blair is left stuck - thats what he did. 'Religion' only causes war in its broadest sense - in the sense that includes atheism - just look at russian communism and the purges of lenin and stalin. If a religion preaches against war...then if it causes war, its only when its being followed incorrectly - thus isnt the fault of the teachings of the religion itself. Iraq will not be free for a very long time, compare it to Ireland - they opened a can of worms they really shouldnt have until they had some really solid basis to, i believe iraq is freer than it was - it is a vocal minority who are causing a lot of pain. In that respect im glad saddam has gone - at least bush isnt terrorising his own country.
  11. gota be pretty low profit? awesome service though...
  12. my database hasnt gone down once..... but i have had the too many connections error quite a bit - which is a bit annoying
  13. how do you feel about making your own?i dunno how to for real time but i guess java can do itones that update on page refresh are easy enough.. so you can implement them to while you're browsing
  14. Why the (BEEP!) would you want to do that!? (Sorry didn't mean to come down that hard on you) Think you are missing the "hang" hehe . I would rather shag her that here her sing :

    you could do it in php/javascript - briefly like this... 1) put somethign like this at the top of the page: <?$width = "<SCRIPT language='javascript'><!--if (screen.width) {document.write(screen.width);} else {document.write('undefined')}//--></SCRIPT>";?> 2) where you have your table... (e.g. if you have one big table which everything else is in for instance, or set each one separately if you wish instead of width="80%" or width="800px" put width="<? echo $width *.8; ?>" but that is no better than just having width="80%" ....so to maximise efficiency you could set it to be full screen for someone using 800 by 600, and 80% size for higher res.... ---------- by putting this at the top of a php page.... <?if($width > 800) {$width = $width *0.8;}/*- to make it 80% broswer width (in px), only if the browser is bigger than 800 */?> then instead of width="80%" or width="800px" put width="<? echo $width; ?>" Thats of course if using % instead of px in the html wont do you.... 3) save as something.php, upload and visit
  18. I have been working on this for a while, and have not yet figured out how to incorporate information from SSI scripts into flash movies. has anyone else been able to figure it out?
  19. it only took me a couple of days to know enough to make something that looked half good...there isnt that much you need to know once you knuckle down to it.
  20. i dont think you need a style sheet....i just include it in the pagethats cos i use php to generate the content..so i have a 'layout page' and then include content.php for exampleI use dreamweaver for css cos it changes the colour if ive missed something....but notepad is as good other than that.
  21. Hmm... I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly, but maybe you need this: $time= ... // get the date from database$time=strtotime($time); // converts mysql date format ("2004-11-20") into UNIX type time variable (number of sec. since 1/1/1970)$date=date("m i, Y", $time); // the date() function takes as an optional second parameter an UNIX type time variable
  22. i like the avatar and the sig needs a bit more work (the border has some faults in it and put broli behind the border and sonic in front of it) thats what i think. I like it so far
