Dual boot Debian/Windows question
It's just not compatable with some software I need, so until I get some time to figure out how to dual-boot, I'm stuck with Windows. Just to end my os-talk, I can tell you that these kinds of offers are quite the norm in free software circles. I help you, you help someone else, someone else helps me.

2 question about kernel compiling...
My computer did re-boot this morning and the thing I did with downloading the dll file and renaming the old dll did NOT work :( I was worried about it so I got up at 3:00 am... hooked it up to the net to see if it would do the same thing it has been doing ( telling me that it was missing something ) when I got up

Rename the file with no extension to an .EXE file. Format each diskette or run SYS to remove the virus from the boot sector of each 1.2M disk.

Boot Question
Then modify the WinXP single-boot boot.ini file so that it will dual-boot. (Since it's already dual-booting, you can leave boot.ini as it is now. Each OS, when it is RUNNING, will therefore refer to its own partition as "C:", just as clones do, and it will rename the other partitions as it sees fit,

If you do not have a password established or have deleted the .pwl file, when the W95/98 logon screen appears at boot, type a user name only and hit OK twice.

samba question *Solved*
However, since that directory is a "system" directory, it'll probably take some effort on your part to convince Windows to let you move/rename/mount the directory as necessary while doing this task (at least, that was the situation for me with the "Program Files" directory when I did it once).

Boot Question
Win95 overwrites bootsect.dos when it installs and the orginal version is needed to add a DOS boot option to the NT boot.ini file. After Win95 is installed just rename the new bootsect.dos to bootsect.w40 and copy the saved orginal version back to bootsect.dos. Then edit boot.ini (hidden in your c:\ directory).

Gunny, Question on your boot disk
Then "Initialise partition" and select (or type) /boot. This command is always an alternative, offered at the "Install something or other" stage. Of course, it you already have your /boot partition in Mandrake, there's no reason why you shouldn't share it with Debian. Just install Debian normally, then rename /boot

Boot to GUI Question
It's perfectly acceptable, and a lot easier to manage, if all your secondary distros have their own /boot directory, probably not a separate partition. but of course, if you have to do that, you can easily rename the copied kernel to something unique, if for some reason it isn't already uniquely named.

Rename the link to xS99dtlogin. That will tell Solaris not to start the graphical login. If and when you want it back, just rename it back. That will work, and it's the standard way to do it, so there's definitely nothing wrong with it. However, another option is to type "dtconfig -d". You might also have to type

Boot question
Does that make sense or will the BIOS rename them exactly the same in both? Or am I asking for trouble by unhooking any drives at all, just should leave them all in place and install XP in the un-partitioned space?
