| sh0rtBuS | ok, i checked the link out, looks a bit beyond my know how, im not dumb but doesnt look like somethin for a first timer | 00:01 |
| wxl | well the one thing about it is it works, without fail | 00:02 |
| wxl | i can't say that about other utlities | 00:02 |
| wxl | there's this, too, but i don't do windows so can't tell you if it works https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager/iso2usb | 00:03 |
| sh0rtBuS | that last link looks simple. ima have to try a more reliable thumb drive or this external drive first then ill look into this other stuff, even tho some of its beyond my know how i enjoy learning about it more than i do random ass internet searches that get me nowhere. wish i wouldve started with irc first. Funny thing is i learned of irc back when sega dreamcast came out. they had a server | 00:14 |
| sh0rtBuS | for ppl who connected to the internet thru dreamcast to chat. its rare i meet someone in person who knows what irc is. glad its still around and useful. | 00:14 |
| sh0rtBuS | thx again, g2g cya | 01:07 |
| Ahmuck | adobe reader available for 16.10 ? | 01:50 |
| wxl | Ahmuck: why bother? use evince. | 01:52 |
| Ahmuck | evince is not displaying or printing the pdf correctly | 01:52 |
| wxl | then that's probably because it's a non-standard pdf | 01:52 |
| Ahmuck | suggestion? | 01:54 |
| wxl | tell whomever you got the pdf from to fix ity | 01:54 |
| Ahmuck | my bank sent the pdf | 01:55 |
