Finally got Linux to boot the way I want it too. After my last "failure" running linux. I removed it and left it off for over a year (Mandrake 9.0). Installed Mandrake 10.1 on a small 20GB partition to play around with. Lets just say Konqueror SUCKS MAJOR ASS. Slow as fuck and thats the ONLY browser given with it. 9 at least had Galeon which was like Firefox. Put firefox for linux and thunderbird on and its sooooo much faster. Took 30 min to figure out how to put the icons on teh desktop and into the "start menu". Not happy about how small the fonts are in teh browser and teh lack of a few fonts that windows has (soon to be remedied
). Still need some stuff to play with.
Now its set up that the only way to boot into linux is off a boot floppy. No floppy in drive, goes straight into windows. I hated having Lilo in the MBR. This way XP loads faster without dealing with Lilo.
Now to figure out other little items on linux since this version is MUCH better than 9.0 with ease.
What sucks now is I need to put all my favourites back in by hand and retype all passwords.:laughing
