Boot Windows XP from high block number?
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I have installed Linux and Windows XP on my hard drive and am trying to
set up a dual boot. Unfortunately XP is installed at a high sector,
namely block 204438565. The partition table starts:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 63 2040254 1020096 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 2040255 104438564 51199155 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 * 104438565 206836874 51199155 b W95 FAT32
...
I have set up grub.conf as follows:
...
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
chainloader +1
The grub initialization screen starts OK, but when I select Windows,
grub fails with a disk read error.
Questions:
(1) Is grub.conf set up right for this partition table?
(2) Is it possible to boot XP at this location, or do I have to
reinstall Linux and XP with their partition reversed, so as to get the
XP partition to a smaller block number?
(3) Is there some quicker way to get the partitions reversed other than
reinstallation?
Thanks - jon

kphotoalbum tips?
by Ian Malone
Does anyone use kphotoalbum? It seems to do /almost/ exactly what I
want in terms of flexible tagging, but the html albums it exports
don't look great (both its file|html export and the html export
plugin), has anyone had any success customizing it? Thought I'd ask
here before disappearing across to their mailing list.
Thanks

FDISK problems
by potat0
OS= Fedora 10
I have a secondary 250GB disk of which I created a 50G partition on to try and set-up an LFS system. I finished with the LFS system and now I want to destroy the partition and reclaim all of the 250GB. So i simply ran fdisk /dev/sdb and deleted the 2 Linux partitions ( one 83 and one swap). I then created a new partition as primary partition #1. fdisk appears to see the entire disk....I'm able to start at cylinder 1 and end at 30401 which is 250GB, however when i mount the partition it's shows as only 50G.....What the hell is going on here???

[Way OT] Tiny Core Linux
by John Wendel
Stumbled across a reference to Tiny Core Linux on distrowatch, thought
I'd give it a try. 10MB download (yes, I said 10MB). Burned a CD,
booted, and it was running. Read the single page help, installed mplayer
and OSS sound and in 2 minutes I was playing a video.
These guys have some unique ideas, and they're doing an excellent job of
implementing them. If they can keep at it, in a year this will be a
fantastic Linux distro. Give it a spin and prepare to be impressed.
No, it isn't better than Fedora, just really different. I like what
they're doing.
