[12:36] I use one partition for everything.. [12:36] Rebroad that's what I said! [12:36] anyone got flash player working in amd64 [12:36] stephen_, i meant you do man dpkg [12:36] you don't need two separate partitions, just some people think separating data is convenient === Nenad-Bgd [Nenad-BGD@194.106.189.113] has joined #ubuntu === pablo928 [~pablo928@az-yuma-cuda1s-18.losaca.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu [12:36] ok, well, I won't then. [12:37] nevermind [12:37] one partition is more convenient and more efficient i think [12:37] holotone: / and /home can be on the same partition [12:37] what? [12:37] So one NTFS, one ext3 and one SWAP? [12:37] so if u ever crash and burn ur / partition, u still have /home [12:37] holotone: sounds good [12:37] Rebroad: i always use two [12:37] can linux read/write NTFS? [12:37] not write [12:37] kdp: how will you crash and burn an ext3 partition?

[12:40] 2Gb for XP [12:40] kick windows to the curb [12:40] you actually can have fat32 as a single partition on a 200gb hd [12:40] way to much to waste on windows [12:40] 1Gb swap. 58Gb ext3 [12:40] unkwn: streaming support is much better in windows, in my opinion [12:40] How do i mount my USB External HD [12:40] i really need [12:40] vlc works fine [12:40] just STOP using ms's stupid fdisk .. there's a different version online that can doule it to 64gb .. but for the real fat32 partitioner...I'm not sure what the name was again [12:40] just for the fact that everybody streams in either smil or wav [12:40] you can always resize it later if you need to [12:40] ;) [12:40] *wax [12:41] i saw the howto for windows codecs for totem, but its for totem-xine, how do you do it for gstreamer? [12:41] when you plug it in /dev/ will show sd* devices [12:41] or u can download knoppix and use QTParted [12:41] stephen_: usually, mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/USB or something like that [12:41] can use gparted on ubuntu [12:41] Rebroad: yes [12:41] well. maybe not if it's buggy.. [12:41] you mount it the same way as hda partitions [12:41] it says mount: mountpoint /mnt/usb does not exist? [12:41] what id o [12:41] use ntfsresize works [12:41] well, i'm assuming u dont already have ubuntu installed [12:41] What Do I DO [12:41] stephen_: you need to make the mount point first [12:42] mkdir /mnt/usb [12:42] kdp you're talking to me?
