For the first time in ages, I installed Ubuntu on my main system, mainly cos
it was the only halfway-recent distro I had. Grabbed it from a guy at the
Scottsdale swap meet a while ago; I think it was 2.6.12 based, if that gives you
a time-space
I noticed two showstopper problems:
1- Where are the X11 headers? Not on the one-CD package? Or am I looking
under the wrong name? Even gcc was turned off by default in the install, I
suspect it's not really packaged as a developer's distribution on the single CD.
B- I built the install in a "Blind spot". I have a 160G drive, and Win2000
can only see the first 132G (well, you can registry-hack it, but I haven't).
So I figured I'd be fine putting a 2.5Gb swap partition and the rest as root
in the "blind space".
When I tried to boot into Win2000, it gave a blue-screen about inaccessible
boot device. Deleting the Linux install, then booting off an old Win95 CD and
running 'fdisk /mbr' to purge the system of GRUB fixed it. (And after I had
JUST reinstalled!)
Obviously, I don't want to give up my Win2000. How do I make 'em play
friendly?
