qn about partitioning

iamroot
I've got a friend who wants to install GNU/Linux but his hard disk is entirely occupied by 1 NTFS partition, as it is with all default Windows installations. How can I extract space from his NTFS partition and format it in ext3 for GNU/Linux.

I'm a real newbeeeeee!

deesmygal
I'm very new to this, I would like to figure out how to get Mandrake 10. 1 installed. I downloaded it and I think I made the disk correctly. I used Roxio's disk creator and burned a disk from an image file.

Realtek

alexmc
I have a new Foxconn 755A01-6EKRS motherboard which claims to have a 10/100/1000 Fast Gigabit Ethernet port from Realtek in it. However Linux (Fedora Core 4 and Gentoo Live CD 2004. 3) only sees it as a 10/100.

Be A Registered Linux User

zenarcher
I'm probably the last person to find out about this, but I thought it was interesting, so I'll pass it along. There's a website, called, The Linux Counter, where you can register as a Linux user and also register the information about your system.

Gigabit NIC's with Jumbo frame support on Linux?

Thratchen
Just discovered that my new Linksys EG1032 Gigabit PCI Network Adapters DO NOT offer linux support and that Linksys has no plans to support it in the future. Does anyone know of a Gigabit NIC that runs on Linux that supports Jumbo packets? Any help appreciated T.

"bad eip value"

oprogue
I'm attempting to install linux on an old HP Vectra 500 which orginally had Win95. The box has a P1 processor with 48 Mb ram and a 1. 2 gig HD. I've partitioned the HD with partition magic with a 300 Mb Dos partition (fresh install of Win95), a 200 Mb Linux swap partition, and the remainder as a linux partition.

Secure File Deletion

zenarcher
Maybe I'm looking for something that's not needed. But, I've done a bit of searching and not come up with any sort of application of this nature. I'm wondering if there is any sort of secure file shredder in Linux.
