Most CD-Rs now a days are 700MB, and for the most part they can be overburned to about 712MB or a little more. If you get a 700MB disc you should be fine unless you have an old ass burner that will only burn the old 650MB discs.
I put it on my laptop, works great with only 2 problems. I can't get the display to change to 800x600 in text mode (has 1024x7something virtual display which sucks and doesn't work), and I can't get my nic working.
I use a PCMCIA D-Link Card, and it freezes on boot after detecting the card and trying to set up the network. I have had porblems with this nic in redhat before too, and i havn't tried it in any other linux distro. Works in windows ok though.
I got Knoppix so that I didn't have to use hd space on my laptop. It works fine wtihout the nic, everthing is perfect. So I try booting with the nic in and blam, it freezes after detecting it. It detects it as the right model but when it tryes setting up eth0 it freezes up. Also does it if I put the nic in while alread booted up, text and gui.
the nic is a D-Link DFE-670TXD Fast Etiernet 10/100 PCMCIA card.
Any ideas?
Yeah great idea, now all we need is a big warehouse to store the punchcards for a single episode......and we need some forklifts....lots of forklifts....and and and....i'll shut up now....
Funny how the BBC's article said it could become the Earth's second natural sattelite, when it fact it would be only the fourth. We already have two small natural astroids that are sattelites besides our moon.
These guys arn't the first who have come up with the idea. Check out http://www.nomoreaolcds.com. They are doing the same thing. I have even been collecting cds to send to them, have 300 already.
I already got this. Thought it would be a one time thing like alot of stuff untill I got it 4 days in a row. So needless to say I disabled the messenger service. Not like I ever use it for anything important anyway.
