I'm looking for good examples of them being used.

What I would like to do would be to have tray icons for drives that are mounted to write to with color and/or text to tell me if they are getting too full.

Thanks...

I am trying to get 6.3.0 working on my laptops so I can convert from 5.7.0 to 6.3.0. My 5.7.0 is mostly working well, but having a few problems which might be fixed by now, if I was running newer versions of things. The trackpads work fine on all my laptops in 5.7.0. I'm guessing its xorg related, a...

It worked fine in 5.7.0. I'm guessing its xorg related, and I tried to follow the instructions to reconfigure xorg, save and reboot on the Dell Inspiron, but was not able to get it to boot again from the CD, The first laptop it didn't work on is a Dell Latitude D620 Laptop. It also doesn't work on m...

It ran fine, suspended on close and resumed fine.

I've booted the HP DV9917CL and the Dell D620 with 6.3.0.6 so far, no troubles. If I could get my software ported to it and get to where I could easily load my tweaked version, I'd like to do that. I've customized the Slacko 5.7.0 quite a bit (different kernel, grub2, conky, but mostly just added pr...

I'll have to take a look at the 6.3.0. I have been so busy working lately that I hadn't noticed that it came out. The 5.9.3 didn't ever work (couldn't get it installed) for me, and 5.7.0 did, so I just stuck with it. I do full installs. Maybe I shouldn't. I added a lot of games to mine as well as a ...

SDA5 on the machine I restored to also has Slacko 5.7.0 on it, so Grub got confused. In the boot file you see on the screen, it has the block id of the restored drive on the SDA5 entry and no entry for SDA9.

Lets say I have a linux partition ext4 on SDB5 on machine A and I want to restore it to SDA9 on machine B. I then want to use Grub 2 (which is installed on that partition) to install and update-grub to rebuild the boot menu to add it so I can boot from it? I have tried this with pudd and gparted, an...

Grub4dos on orginal and regular grub on last post? Also which version of windows? Win 8 and beyond has a well hidden break in hardrive for the super spy boot stuff. :lol: sorry do not know the real name for that 2 to 300 M spot on harddrive, but it does confuse most older versions of bootloaders. T...

I used gparted to copy my /dev/sdb5 partition that has slacko pup 5.7.0 with the slitaz 3.10.62 kernel to a partition on a flash drive. I then booted my otherr PC with the slacko 5.7.0 cd and used gparted to copy the backed up system to a matching sized partition on that machine at /dev/sda9. I then...

Mochi,

Nice example!

A slightly off topic question, but what program did you use to highlight in red on the screenshot?

Ahhh, ok, yes partly a valid point. On the main machine I haven't been doing any development or testing with any of the others in the past 3 or 4 weeks, since I made the push to get everything working under Slacko 5.7.0, but I've been doing a lot of copying from them, so am not ready to give them up...

I admit that for the most part, I actually know enough now that I COULD succeed at setting up grub legacy or grub4dos or even learn to create lilo menus by hand, but it sort of seems silly when grub2 exists. I found out this morning about "/etc/lsb-release", where 1 minute of effort turns ...

I don't have copies of xp or vista that are generic, so they only can load of the machines they came with, so I need to leave them alone. The critical machine and its backup are HP dv9700 17" laptops that came with Vista. I am hoping only to need to use Vista infrequently anyway. I almost never...

Yes, I'm sitting here typing on Slacko. That's as big a vote as you can get in my book. I have sat here at least a year trying distros and never getting any to where I could actually sit here and use it day to day, always ending up using the windows machine to rescue my failed linux attempts. And I ...

I got it running. Once I had windows working again, I installed the SSD drive in the 2nd drive bay. Then I booted into windows again to make sure it was still ok. Then I booted from my slacko 5.7.0 cd So my main drive is /dev/sda and my main slacko on SSD is /dev/sdb5 from the terminal booted from c...

I used easy bcd from the original vista drive to create a boot on the new drive that it didn't think was there. It at least partially worked because I'm able to boot the drive, but it has problems still with services not running that I'm still trying to fix. Assuming I get it fixed, I'll put the SSD...

Another part of the problem is that I don't have room on the SSD for Windows, and certainly the HP software isn't going to allow me to reload Windows to the second drive, so that means I'm going to be forced either way to make the SSD the 2nd drive so Windows can be on the 1st drive where it expects...

Its Windows Vista, 64 bit version, came with my HP Pavilion dv9917d Notebook PC. I'm getting an error from Windows Boot Manager, "Windows failed to start", and it wants me to insert the Windows Installation CD and run the repair. I only have the HP Cd's, and have never had much success wit...

Got the SSD, no troubles installing it or getting everything copied to it, It boot the 3 linux distros just fine but windows won't boot anymore.

Not confident I can run on just the one drive + the SSD. Disk space is pretty tight on one drive.
