Hi,
Ive got a Dell 8300, with a Nvidea video card and I have tried Ubuntu and dambSmallLinux live cds and neither would run due to video drivers ?
I have an install version of Mandrake 9.2 and have tried it a few times but it doesnt have drivers for my Logitech cordless Keyboard & mouse or my Canon i350 printer or my Lexmark X75 printer scanner.
Can anyone tell me where to get linux drivers for hardware thats not supported by a distro ?
If you are looking to install a distro you should go with something more recent than Mandy 9.2.
Mandrake 10.1 official or SuSe 9.2 should be able to cope with dell machines I think, to name a couple, more n00b-friendly distros.
If you want to try a live-disc you should prolly go with knoppix before anything, I've been able to get 3.6 to run on some really funky hardware. And it's up to 3.7 now so it should be even better now. http://www.knoppix.org/
Yeah look at the date posted it is eons old :P . Every now and again i go through a Linux stage where i get a few more cd's try them for a few days.Quote:

time to add one thats really badass :D
Project Frenzy comes with over 400 tools for all kinds of computer emergencies. It fits on a mini-CD and best of all, its based on FreeBSD!!! A side note: you need to launch the gui manually. when it loads, its command prompt based. me being the linux noob, i have no idea how this would be achieved. any ideas?
Frenzy was recently /.ed. thats why i posted it here (also, it wasnt already posted, and it seems to be really good)
any one heard of project looking glass. its sun's 3d desktop that they are trying out. well they are making a livecd based on knoppix thats in early beta
https://lg3d-livecd.dev.java.net/
its just for looking at really at the minute since the mirrors are amazingly slow and all the only torrent i can find is corrupted.
Great, now I have to get that one too.
It's based on gamesknoppix, cool.
It started off fast, then dropped to 15-16kB/sec, bugger!
thats pretty badass :D im gonna have to try it :DQuote:

i will use it before setup linux
to learn more
then i will setup linux
mandriva one 2008.1 is great... some proprietary drivers and plugin are include on cd, and when its finishes to boot the OS is complete/perfect.

Oh, good. Thanks... :)
Since no one has mentioned these live discs, then I will mention them
Lubuntu
http://lubuntu.net/
Which is an even lighter version than Xubuntu, cause Lubuntu only needs 50 megabytes of ram.
And then there is Aurora (formerly known as EEEbuntu)
http://eeebuntu.org/ (yeah they still have the old address name)
Which also has a livedisc.
I have just installed Lubuntu on my extremely small laptop, and I am still a beginner. But I am looking forward to using Linux more and more on it :)
Also the normal Ubuntu Linux has a live disc.
http://www.ubuntu.com/
So it is better and better :)
:dry: ubuntu didn't even existed when this thread is started... I hate bumped threads
Jesus fucking Christ, it is a sticky. So bumped threads ? naah do not be so negative mate :)Quote:

Which is based upon Lubuntu and uses Firefox as it default browser, unless you love Chrome, then you can download the Peppermint Ice instead. Which has Chrome installed instead of Firefox. I personally removed Lubuntu, because they used Chrome instead of Firefox as their default browser. And well now I use Peppermint instead. And yes, both Peppermint flavours has a live option.
My friend has xp pro and blew up his sata motherboard, he got a pata box and we found a $23 pata-to-sata connector so he could use his sata dvdburner in his pata box
Well xp+dvdshrink+imgburn is having real problems ripping and burning dvds, so I showed him how to quickly rip/burn dvds using PuppyLinux -it's really fast and easy... Puppy Linux boots into ram (you can now use the dvd-drive) and you can burn it onto a dvd-disk and then save your sessions back onto the dvd -which is pretty handy imo
