Q2:the folders in my fat32 partition got locked. How do I gain the permission to delete/modify it?
$su root password: xxxxxx $chown username:root /fat32 (get permission delete/modify) Q3:Does ctrl-alt-delete still work? what about other shortcuts? Kde yes - ctrl-alt-del = logout!, plus "menu editor" we can set short key for certain command. Gnome not too sure.. Q5: Is wmv video files a problem in ubuntu? I read somewhere that different versions of wmv cant be played in linux. Comfirm or deny? Confirm! Q6: Is there a program that can run multiple lines of command that usually needed to be inputted in the terminal? You can issue multiple command in one line as below : $uname -a;date;df -m Linux slax 2.6.16 #95 Wed May 17 10:16:21 GMT 2006 i686 pentium3 i386 GNU/Linux Sat Mar 24 20:41:43 GMT 2007 Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on tmpfs 3753 1649 1913 47% / /dev/hda1 3753 1649 1913 47% /mnt/hda1 /dev/hda5 15018 910 13346 7% /mnt/hda5 otherwise, as sweemeng told, use shell script, chmod & run it!

QUOTE(littleman @ May 10 2007, 07:32 PM) I don't see any swap linux partition option. After create new partition manually during installation, ubuntu will pop-up for you to choose for atleast below filesystems : / = root filesystem ext2 or ext3 swap = linux-swap filesystem |
