<< < (7/7)

sam:
no that was definetly SUSE - KDE doesnt cause that sort of problem it is a very well known problem with SUSE. I shall be away for a few days, I'll look into it when I get back.

Flanjeuk:
hello again,

I have made a 20GB partition, but I can't see it when i'm in Fedora, i found a lot of info through google, but i cant open "/etc/fstab" it says i'm not allowed, i cant find it looking through explorer thing, and i cant open it through the console. do you know what I'm doing wrong?

(btw i was logged in as root when i tried through the console)

damn thats what i was going to suggest.

another thing is to check the file permissions of the directory, you might well find that you dont actually have view rights. i.e. the directory exists but you can view inside it. you can find out the file permissions by typing ls -l . if you dont have the right permissions you, whilst logged in as root, can change the permissions by using chmod.

Flanjeuk:
I fixed everything, formatted and its all gone i can not be bothered with the hassle, it was good to try it out. but i think Windows is for me!

sam:
fair enough but linux isnt something to jump into without the hard slog. It is completely different to windows and is not simple.

I think you should, if you want, play around with bootable versions till you are comfortable with linux.

Windows is full of problems, it just hides it from the user.
