The ubuntu on her computer seems to be limping, not sure, cannot 'get ahold of it'. I was wondering IF I put a distro (different one, she never quite liked ubuntu) of say PCLinuxOS on a second hd and hooked put it in the box, what kinda mess am I going to have to get it to:
1. Working and bootable
2. Able to copy files from Ubuntu to it.
3. Able to write new files to the ubuntu hard drive(orginal hd).
I am not one of the 'serious types' OS wise.
I went in the other day with a cdrom and it didn't recognize the cd, so cdrom is probably toast, but again, getting my hands on the system is probablimatic for that. I tried a usb and neither of us could find it even tho the blinky light blinked and looked like it was recognized by ubuntu, but nothing found in terminal w/df command..just showed the hd and ram.
No icon showed up for the usb stick either.
Oh, well.
