Customise Ubuntu alternate installation

By visual1ce | Mar 03, 2011

Hi,

I read the excellent article about customising Ubuntu LiveCD. I was wondering if I can do something similar with the alternate ISO. I'd like to run full disk encryption with luks, dm-crypt and the how tos I've read use the alternate CD.

I'd like to customise install media so I can remove packages and add others.

thanks, visual1ce

Does Linux work with a Lexmark Printer?

Does Linux work with a Lexmark Printer?

I have a Lexmark x125 printer because originally my computer had Windows XP as an operating system. Now I am using Ubuntu.

Are there any reliable print drivers that will work with a Lexmark x125 printer or will I have to reload Windows XP back on my comuter?

how to manually install xfce on tty7

By barboboy | Jun 03, 2010

Hi everybody,

I'm using linux at home and I've tried the Ubuntu desktop version and it works fine but I wanted the ubuntu on my PC to contain just what i need and nothing else.

So I went about installing just a command line version from an alternate cd of ubuntu, and started installing every piece of required software manually via apt-get, including xorg and xfce of course. more>>

Adding the year to file properties in openSUSE 11.1

By Rafa | Sep 15, 2009

Is there a way to add the year a document or file was created and/or modified to the details shown under its Properties? As it stands right now in my openSUSE 11.1 I get the date (without the year) and the time of creation and last modification, that's it. I work with many older documents and I need to know the year they were created/modified. Thank you!

Thoughts on distro hopping? I'm wanting to settle down

By zaine_ridling | Jul 23, 2009

Since 2006, I've bounced from one distro to another, never choosing a favorite. However, I'm wondering if it's not time to settle into a distro for 2-4 years and really dig in. I've used well over a dozen different distros, but keep coming back to the top 4-5 on DistroWatch. What is your recommendation for or against distro-hopping?

Linux Folders

By doug.brown | Jul 21, 2009

I have a network attached external hard drive that is running Linux. While it was attached to the network all was well, however it died and I now have lost my files. I can read the drive and see what is on it but I have no idea what to look for in the files. I have excel docs that were saved in windows and put on the drive but don't know what the extension of the files would be. more>>
