Thanks for the reminder, Carlos! ;-) I was 'multitasking' and distracted last night so I overlooked the obvious. Charles, When you redirect the output of 'fdisk -l' to a filename, it produces a text file with that filename. You just open then copy/paste the contents into your e-mail. In fact, you could probable just copy and paste the output of 'fdisk -l' from your shell to the e-mail and avoid making an extra file. So, see? With Linux there are many, many alternatives... none of them too hard.

If that's how my KDE screenshot utility worked I would consider it broken. When I hit the printscreen key I expect the result to goto the default printer. KSnapshot is a normal app that one opens from the menu. It sits on the taskbar when not in use. It offers to include or not the window decorations, and asks if and how long after request to delay the capture, and whether you want a window or fullscreen or some arbitrary portion of the screen. -- "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

Well, as far as I know, only plain bios and plain msdos do behave printing directly from that key. Even windows 3.x captured the screen to a file. The print screen key in linux does not print anything. And Patrick says it does capture the screen in his KDE, so then, it must be broken :-P - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Clicking only determines the countdown until capture, from 0 (which I never use) to possibly infinity, allowing you to do whatever in the meantime to set up the shot you want. -- "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

However, there's still no kernel so nothing to boot.
As an example, this is how /boot/grub/menu.lst should look: # Modified by YaST2.

If the following is truly the entire contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst, it's no wonder you can't get openSUSE to boot. Apart from having several bits missing, it's "nicely" corrupted.
Thanks for your input, David, I haven't had a chance all day to look at this for Charles... I've got some fires of my own burning here. I /had/ noticed the spurious comma in '..sda,7' ;-) which is why I asked him to post all the info. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That won't work either if sda7 is the actual location and he's using a standard SUSE release of Grub.

In this case (hd0,7) is correct as / is on /dev/sda8.

I've been forwarding all these messages on coping and the such to one of my yahoo mail accounts so I have access to them. :-) Anyway, I was thinking yesterday (I do that from time to time.) and I have an experiment I want to try before I do what you want me to do. The biggest reason why I want to try this is to find out if the install package(s) are corrupt. The main reason why I bring that up is, you noticed what was in the menu.lst file and the such, but when I was trying to install it, I would see that certain items were always missing, when they were there before I hit ok. It didn't dawn on me at first because I figured I was screwing things up somehow. I want to test my theory. I'll let you know the results. Hopefully I will be able to get this done before I have to leave for work! :-) So I better get to it! Thanks Carl!

(^_^)Good catch! (^_^) (^_^)Carl The theory still may hold true but the test didn't pan out. What I was going to do was step back to 10.1. First it came up with the RAID warning. It said it was a software RAID but it's not. I was going to go forward with it anyway because it didn't matter if it mounted the array of not since I'm not trying to install or installed anything on the array under Linux. Then it had problems reading the catalogs on the installation DVD. So that was the end of that! Well, better get off to work now. While I'm thinking about it. Going back to the menu.lst file. Some have said that /dev/sda,7 was wrong, but wouldn't that be correct seeing that root was on device sda8?

Charles, You'll get a lot farther, faster, if you confirm your device.map and try booting with the repaired fstab & menu.lst I posted. AFAIK, "/dev/sda,7" is not valid anywhere... it is inconsistent with *nix device 'notation' (i.e. "/dev/sda7"... no comma) as well as inconsistent with grub's 'notation' (i.e. "(hd0,6)" in 'grub-speak' is the first hard drive, seventh partition, since grub starts counting at zero.) hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
