Mattias, I got you guys confused as you both helped so much. This live system you described sounds fascinating. I really want syslinux + partitioned binary hard drive image + LUKS encrypted

btw, that works with mkfs.vfat as well. just have to use syslinux with a syslinux.cfg file instead of extlinux with an extlinux.conf.

the closest i have gotten to a consistent way to test a MS-DOS filesystem setup is: dd if=/dev/zero of=binary.img bs=1M count=500 i="$(losetup -f --show binary.img )" parted binary.img mklabel msdos -s -m dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of="${i}" parted binary.img mkpart primary -a optimal -s -m 0% 100% parted binary.img set 1 boot on mkfs.ext4 $(kpartx -savu "${i}"

Thank you. It had not occurred to me that ye good olde BIOS is/was still there, and that it could actually be relied upon to do useful

Hi *, I was just debugging why TFTP booting did not work any more on a system that had pxelinux.0 was updated. ?Since version 5.00, support for 16-bit COMBOOT modules has been dropped, and c32 modules switched from the COM32 object format to ELF.? Ugh. Well, updating the *.c32 files was enough to make the Linux discless thingy work again. BUT! The MirBSD bootloader actually took advantage of

Hi, (My apologies to Geert Stappers for the inappropriate branch which i grafted on his thread today. It still grows. But i do my share to dry it out by replying to a message in the correct thread. :)) Dean Graff wrote: > But I really want to push xorriso to its limits.

Could someone help me get the syntax for `genisoimage' and/or `xorriso' correct? Apparently it is not in many linux distros so below my little HOWTO shows how to compile it.

In fact I usually use preloader.efi (with keytool.efi and hashtool.efi for secure boot) and gummiboot.x64.efi to boot EFI stub kernels on x86_64. But until short time a go I had no idea someone would try to sell 32 bit UEFI on

I am working with multiboot module "mboot.c32". I have had luck using it to boot NetBSD and the Hurd kernel. The problem with booting the Hurd kernel is apparently connected to the extended syntax passed along to it by grub. Grub passes Hurd kernel approximately 4 files, some of which are modules, and another ten (or so) boot arguments, which correspond to those modules and kernel. The

dear R wizards: I have a large data frame, a million rows, 40 columns. In this data frame, there are some (about 100,000) rows which I want to recompute (update), while I want to leave others just as is. this is based on a condition that I need to compute, based on what is in a few of the columns. what is the right R way to do this? I could subset out the rows that I want to recompute into a

Timo / Others, I have been working on a new installation for a fairly busy site, and after many weeks of tribulation have come to an architecture Im happy with: 2x Debian (2.6.18) - MXing machines running Postfix / MailScanner / Dovecot-LDA (A slightly patched RC17 for prettier Quota bounces) 2x Debian (2.6.18) - Mail retrieval machines running Dovecot IMAP/POP3 (Currently RC17) 3x Node Isilon

You should check that if a user is logged and you look at the local (c:\users) folder Does it have a TEMP folder in it. If thats the case. I suggest you try this. Click Start ?? Run ?? Regedit Navigate to the following registry key :HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList Then find the GUID from the user that is having problem. (tip, properties, security tab )

As I had noted in the past gpxelinux.0 fails (on most of my machines) at localboot 0 where as pxelinux.0 works with localboot 0 (on all of my machines) I needed to do local boot by default (not first hard drive but local boot where it ends pxe booting and looks at the next device) I also had a few iso images that took too long while downloading from tftp and I wanted to use gpxelinux.0 with its
