I have an ASROCK K8VM800 mobo and I was wondering if I wouldnt have any trouble with SUSE 10.1 (64 bit version)

My whole stuff is:

- The mobo up there
- Sempron 3000+ (palermo, so it's 64bit compatible :p)
- 2x512Mb Corsair ValueSelect
- 80Gb 7200rpm SATA WD
- Radeon 9250 (but x1600PRO is on the way :D)
- HP 1410
- Monitor, non usb keyboard and mouse and a couple of speakers, LG CD-RW and LG DVD-RW (dual layer)

Also, what video processing program would you recommend? ( I Know Kino it's included but want to make DVD's out of avi files, mux and demux and stuff, that's my main reason for trying linux, 3 hours for a single dvd is no fun in windows :p)

Should work fine :-D

The only thing I'm not sure about is the proprietary ATI driver.

Check out K3b for CD/DVD burning.

I would suggest googling: Kino, Cinelerra, blender

Mr Linux_0, I was wondering, how does WINE work?

Oh and I found yesterday that there was DOOM 3 on linux, WOAH! xD
Do you know if there is HW2 for Linux too?

May the holy penguin be with you my child!

WINE works in mysterious ways... it may take some getting used to...

There is a much friendlier commercial version called Cedega published by transgaming.

It's not perfect but it's pretty good and has good support :-D

It's $5/mo or $55/year.

http://transgaming.org/

IIRC Doom, Quake, Unreal and a few other games have native Linux versions ( see below )

It might be a BIOS issue or a bad burn.

Did you verify the md5 and or sha1 sums before burning the ISO???

That probably messed it up :-(

What kind of internet connection do you have?

What country are you in?

If you can't get the original ISO back you're going to have to download a good clean ISO or at least a Live CD to make the machine usable.

If file scavenger can't find it then you can:

0. download DSL ( 50MB CD ) and use that temporarily

1. download Knoppix ( 700MB CD or 3.1GB DVD ) and use that

2. download the SuSE install CD ( s ) ( 700MB each )

3. download a lightweight Live CD ( about 100 - 300MB ) and use that temporarily



If file scavenger does find the file then be sure to run md5sum and sha1sum on it!!!!

Will the 50Mb cd boot, install and then get the rest of the packages from my DVD (once that I'm in suse)
Click to expand...


No, I'm afraid not. The 50MB DSL can't be used to install SuSE but it can be used to do a hard drive install of Debian, but it will take many hours to apt-get / download everything to make it more usable.

It will work fine as a Live CD but you will not have a lot of applications.

Knoppix is a lot larger @ 700MB but includes a TON of applications.

Total disaster :S:S

First, it wouldnt let me resize my Win partition, so I said "I give a fk about it, it's all backed up!!! let's blow this up", so, deleted de win partition and installed SUSE, everything nice, just minor stuff regarding network (hw stuff) and when I was goint to install win it wouldnt letme, I forgot to stablish the extended partition and set up all those as primary ones :p anyways....restared again (this time ok) SUSE working fine (except the network problem) and then installed XP.....logged in, installed all drivers & stuff, rebooted and when loggin again on xp it would freeze when loading my config........after a lot of work I managed to boot from the suse DVD (it didn't wanted to boot from any drive :S:S:S:S) reinstalled suse, installed xp and in the final steps it hanged up, so it was fkd......started again this time installing x first on a 50Gb partition (done that earlier but again :p) and reserverd the extra space for SUSE, since this computer is used by 4 ppl DESPERATE to email some relatives I'm leaving my little linux project for a while, approx a month or two, when I end this semester....but what do you think it happened when installing xp for the first time (just after installing suse correctly the second ime with the extended partition??) :p cuz I don't want all that problems next time :p

*sigh* tuxie abandoned me for a while....but even penguin gods have to pee from time to time

Interesting....

I'll try to do it a couple of weeks from now if I can

Also, I'm moving my tentacles to see if I can get another HDD (cuz 80Gb isn't enough!!! xD), I'll sell my old 9250 and that should take me half way done, probably by august I'll have a new HDD

Why are extended partitions a pain in the 455?

The good news is, partitions don't have to be a pain, sorry I didn't stop in earlier, but as for moving from a Windows only machine to a dual-boot, i've done quite a few for many people usuing different distros.

My recipe for success:

1) Boot into Windows. Backup all the stuff you would hate to lose. Check it again, then one more time to make sure you haven't left anything behind. This is "just in case", like what you ran into.

2) Defrag the NTFS/FAT32 partition. This moves stuff away from the "end" of the disk (actually the center of the disk, but I'll refer to it as the "end")

3) Do a disk check for good measure.

4) Download and burn the GParted LiveCD. Use LiveCD to shrink the Windows partition. You may either leave the blank space blank and let the distro disk handle it (preferable in most cases), or divide it up how you would like it (linux_0's suggestion is a fine one in either case, I've used a slight variation of the Windows+FAT32 "Bridge"+Linux for years with great success)

5) Follow your distro's instructions for installation, including any special instructions for dual-booting

6) Enjoy!

As for the non-booting of a disk not wanting to boot, that is a bit odd, if you edit an ISO make sure to repack it correctly and make it bootable. I would actually just recommend not doing that and rather install the distro then upgrade the apps/drivers when you have a running system. Baby steps are the name of the game.

I backed up and defrag before proceeding :p

Right now my disk is partitioned 50Gb for win and the extra 24.5Gb are reserved for linux when I have time to install it

If everything fails, well, I think I'll implement your solutions, I really don't care if windows doesn't see my linux stuff cuz I'll be the only one using linux, the rest of my family would SCREAM if the start menu & outlook xpress dissappeared

"Where's Internet explorer????? and what's this "firefox" thing????? is it for downloading porn??? WHERE IN THE WORLD IS WORD!!!! BLASPEHMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE DEVILS WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suse installed perfectly, the problem was that 3VIL XP with enhanced hanging algorithms....
