    2 disks, dual boot with Windows 10 and other OSes

    Always handy to have wriggle room when delving into an unknown new software, fortunately I only lost a windont install which I keep to remind myself occassionally 'why linux' and am filled with the urge to shower after booting into, suffice to say, I had nothing of any value data wise on there...

    2 disks, dual boot with Windows 10 and other OSes

    oh and btw, if you enjoy a little distro hopping for fun and have not yet delved into the world of antix, the latest mx18(.3 i think?) is simply stupendous, very much the pick of the distro crop for '19 and looking to enjoy a long vintage of ripening maturation as it has simply got better and...

    2 disks, dual boot with Windows 10 and other OSes

    Equal noob here but have experience of this issue (and lost the data to boot!) short answer is yes it works perfectly, if you plan of using zfs I would caution against keeping your other drives conected during installation, I think this may have been how I corrupted a couple of existing...

    Proxmox 5.4 USB install - no cdrom found, 5.3 working OK

    Thanks for that confirmation of my findings, despite my working assumptions as to 'why' it was wrong.

    Proxmox 5.4 USB install - no cdrom found, 5.3 working OK

    Had same issues using unetbootin in linux and lili under windows, as you correctly say, DD works so looks to be the way the former handle boot loader creation, using dd I only see the standard usb boot option where the installer works but have an additional uefi option when created using unet or...

    Still struggling to get iommu working on either of 2 older servers, please help if you can

    *bump finished fully reinstalling/updating all nodes having converted to assorted zfs formats. So far it looks likely this should be a resolvable problem and I will ensure to document the process and repost here as a tutorial if a solution can be found. If any of the devs could glance over the...

    Windows transfers

    Am a fellow noob here but best guess going on details provided is that you don't have a dedicated management vlan setup and manager and data traffic are cramming the pipes? Can't say I have needed to look into this just yet because I have yet to try sending large files over the same vlan, will...

    Still struggling to get iommu working on either of 2 older servers, please help if you can

    usb audio dongles are cheap as chips and would allow easier audio passthrough for linux and allow audio without remote desktop again because linux, rem desk has always been a stumbling block between linux and windows, always end up resorting to teamviwer but that doesn't do audio either!! As to...
