[13:31] <fosburg> have a new computer--1 HD Windows and 1 HD Ubuntu.  How do I get the OS's to see both drives?
[13:32] <philinux> fosburg: i use easybcd on the winders drive and grub on the ubuntu drive.
[13:32] <philinux> do you mean on boting or reading files
[13:33] <philinux> booting
[13:35] <fosburg> I want to keep back-up files  on a drive and also go to the drive to get folders and files for both OS's
[13:37] <geirha> Windows can't read the filesystems Ubuntu uses by default. Ubuntu can read Windows' fine though, and no thanks to Microsoft.
[13:38] <smartboyhw> geirha: +1
[13:38] <philinux> fosburg: you need a partition on one drive to keep this data
[13:38] <philinux> either ntfs on the ubuntu drive or a folder on the winders drive would do
[13:38] <fosburg> Ok on the partition
[13:39] <fosburg> thanks
[17:09] <bizhanMona> Hi is there such a think as a kickstart for ubuntu? and if yes where I can get info on thatplease?
[17:15] <penreturns> you can try ubuntu online for a start http://www.ubuntu.com/tour/en/
[17:26] <tsimpson> ah, but that's a lie
[18:07] <Sidewinder1> bizhanMona, Is this what you're looking for? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kickstart_%28Linux%29

[18:17] <Sidewinder1> bizhanMona, My pleasure.
[20:27] <raub> Easy question of the day: how do I say that local users I create with adduser/useradd start with uid's 1000 or above?
[20:28] <raub> My issue is that I have network users with uid 5000 or above and last local user I created ended up with uid=5027
[20:52] <geirha> you'll want to use adduser, not useradd
[20:53] <geirha> And you can set the uid range in /etc/adduser.conf
[20:53] <geirha> useradd will NOT read that file, but adduser will
[20:55] <geirha> useradd will read /etc/login.defs instead
[20:55] <geirha> And if you want to add users in bulk, check newusers (it also uses /etc/login.defs)
