quint Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 His avatar settings are correct. It matches the size from when Bruno scaled it down for him. He is all set. Hi Julia,Was referring to the "K", though for some reason the new one you gave him, seems a better fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Ah. That explains it Quint. The old was great but the new seems to fit him at this point in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 Yeah Julia GUESS I am FLYING high watching the clouds roll by Yet PCLos still gives a few WINDY palpitations such as--->>>1 No hda5, hda7, hda8, or hda9 in Konqueror's Devices.2 Flash drive does not work Mepis trying to decide--->>>Is it ADVISABLE to upgtade Gimp to 2.2 so I can use the 2.2 here insteed of rebooting to PCLos Still have to check the Devices in Mepis yet and what is available to access here too.Cheers for YearsColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 ColinYou will have to mount those devices to see them. That is the safest way to go: #mkdir /mnt/hda5#mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 Browse your directoryWhen done after backing out of partition: #umount /mnt/hda5 and #mkdir /mnt/hda7#mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 Browse your directoryWhen done after backing out of partition: #umount /mnt/hda7 #mkdir /mnt/hda8#mount /dev/hda8 /mnt/hda8 Browse your directoryWhen done after backing out of partition: #umount /mnt/hda8 and #mkdir /mnt/hda9#mount /dev/hda9 /mnt/hda9 Browse your directoryWhen done after backing out of partition: #umount /mnt/hda9 Look under mount to see if you have removables or a directory similiar to that. I bet it does work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 JuliaI followed with the commands and hda7 was visible in Devices Then went to root/mnt and found all hda's inn there but nothing visible as to what is on each partitionDo I HAVE to mkdir and mount etc EVERY time I need to access themColin :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hi ColinNope "mkdir" has only to be done once . . . . but the "mount" every time after a reboot . . . . and to see the files do: # ls /mnt/hda7 ( If hda7 is the one you mounted )Also it is safer to "umount" the drive when you are finished with it Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I have drives that I mount periodically tro use what is there. I simply run my mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 as an example. Then when I am finished and out of the partition I run umount /mnt/hda7 and it is back safe where it will not have the potential to cause problems when booting.

kamicota Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 Thank you Bruno & JuliaNow hopefully I can store files/pictures etc on hda9 and get them off hda6, hda7 and hda8 where the three operating systems areColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 That is always the preferred practice. You never want to keep your data on the same partition as the OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 (edited) Yep ADAM BUT I do NOT have a hda9 and BOY am I CONFUSED & SURPRISED I thought after I formatted the last two partitions to put Overclockix on hda8 the last partition would be hda 9 --->>>BUT NO it is HDA4 with 1.3G of stuff on itHere's my set up now--->>>hda1 = / hda5 = swaphda6 = PCLoshda7 = Mepishda8 = Overclockixhda3 = swaphda4 = ??? with 1.3g used out of 6.5G (AND I DO NOT KNOW WHERE FROM )Any suggestions I feel if SuperKami has encountered supreme turbulence again Colin Edited January 5, 2005 by kamicota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Colin . . just make a few directories on /hda9 ( like pictures, files, important, music, poetry . . . . to name 5 ) and just move or copy everything you want to keep safe over there . . . . so if ever your distro ( any of the 3 ) gets corrupted you will not loose them. :DB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
