Overclockix install

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.

[Bruno]

Looks great Colin !!! Bruno

[teacher]

Ah. That explains it Quint. The old was great but the new seems to fit him at this point in time.

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

[teacher]

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.

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 :'(

[Bruno]

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

[teacher]

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]

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

[ross549]

That is always the preferred practice. You never want to keep your data on the same partition as the OS.

[kamicota]

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

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

[Bruno]

hda4 ?????Please show me:

# fdisk -l /dev/hda

Bruno

[kamicota]
