Might be of some use, but bear in mind that some of the actual material contained in the files points out downsides to doing some of the tweaks. -- John Corliss BS206.

Cool! Maybe a UBCD is called for. I did read in this group recently about a Linux program for read-write NTFS. Maybe it's been incorporated into a UBCD. -- John Corliss BS206.

In addition, I keep a change log...anytime I add/delete a program or make some sort of change to the system it is documented in the log with the date and brief description in a LIFO manner. That log also has the dates I backed up my drives so that I can easily examine the change log on each drive and determine what changes have been made since I last backed up. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

"MEPIS 6.5 also comes with the ntfs-3g driver for reading and writing NTFS partitions from user space. This stable, open-source file system manager is invaluable on dual-boot systems. With it, you can both read and write files living on XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, and Vista file systems. I don't tend to use dual-boot systems myself -- desktop Linux is fine for me -- but on those systems where I do run both Linux and Windows, I've already found this new functionality to be invaluable." -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Building a custom install using nlite, I was able to: ~ pre-answer most of the install questions; ~ rip out a number of unused services; ~ add practically all the hotfixes to date; ~ silently install most of the apps the user requested. It took me close to a day to learn how to make the install the way I want it (ie unattended) but, the profile is saved and I can modify it as I go. NLite & data backups are the shizzle in my nizzle until we give up on NTOS altogether. -Craig |
