Shamgar Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Well so far I have gotten to this line:# ls -al /boot/drake92However, when I try to take a OpenOffice file from 10.1 to the internet compter the file ends up having zero data when it has 5.6 kb on Mandrake 10.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamgar Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 Oops! Back to the original plan. The actual space left is only 6.8 gig on hda9 with a journalized reiser fs. Now to decide to allow Suse to be here or the ATL? Suse is annoying with the YAST but I think I should keep it. After all your ATL can be hooked live here anytime.
