"Heather" wrote in message ... "webster72n" wrote in message ... Thanks for the recommendations, Alias. I may follow them. with the extra HD, but definitely will try the exploration method you describe. Let you know how I made out, when the time comes. Muchos gracias (did I say that right?) Almost, Harry.....try *abrazos y besos grandes*. Isn't it more like *obras y brazos grandes*? As if I knew what any of this means. Better keep my hands off it and stick to my two *native* languages, german and english. Vielen dankmany thanks and *good night*. My sheep are waiting to be counted. H. .....Alias might like that. Chuckle....see Loon?? Spanish comes in handy. As well as French. Mind you, that phrase is what a cousin in Espana always says to me and I think it is kind of sweet. OH.....Harry....forgot to mention that WinME does NOT like that MRU program that Shane is talking about. I tried it and had to take it off back in the olden days. Cheers......Figgs No need for me to bother with 'MRU', Figgs, I've got *nothing* to hide and plenty of room. |

If I am not mistaken, a couple of weeks ago you asked for my notification in this case and here it is: My CD from "Ubuntu" has arrived and earlier as they projected, but as you already had suggested. Will have to decide the best way to install it on my machine with an 80BG HD, partitioned into C,D,E and F, with C=20, D=15, E=15 and F=30 GB's. E&F are completely free right now. Maybe you or someone else here has a profitable idea. The CD with "Linux" OS on it was mailed to me for free all the way from Africa and to everyone's information here, I would like to mention the meaning of the word "Ubuntu", it is: "Humanity To Others". In addition I am free to edit, copy or distribute the CD as I would wish. What an enormous generosity. Thanks for pointing me to it, Alias. Harry. Set your BIOS to boot from the CD. Insert the Ubuntu CD before you leave the BIOS. You can then take a live tour without installing it and see how you like it. It will also check out your PC for compatibility. I would recommend installing it on second hard drive because, that way, if one drive goes, you still have the other and don't lose both OSes simultaneously. Alias Thanks for the recommendations, Alias. I may follow them. with the extra HD, but definitely will try the exploration method you describe. Let you know how I made out, when the time comes. Muchos gracias (did I say that right?) Harry. It's "muchas", not "muchos" but I get the idea. De nada :-) I look forward to your opinion on Ubuntu. Alias |

Alias Really close, as Heather said, will try and remember it. The dry-run of 'ubuntu' was successful and to my satisfaction. After eight years of IE it will take some time to get used to the linux browser, which is firefox, but it will be by itself, without interfering in any way. Once another HD is installed and ubuntu on it, I'll let you know. One can always upgrade, if so desired. That was a good idea, Alias, muchas gracias. Harry. |

I tried it and had to take it off back in the olden days.
What did Ron say when you took it off ? eg MG Heather wrote: "webster72n" wrote in message ... Thanks for the recommendations, Alias.

That all depends......if it was now, he wouldn't notice. If it was back
in the *olden days*, well, you should be able to remember your own olden days, eh? You are getting up there, old sock!! (VBG) HF "MowGreen [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Well, I spent five days installing and configuring XP Pro. I just installed a second hard drive and install Ubuntu, 238 updates, and 20 programs in one hour and 50 minutes. Alias |
