How can I install Linux Mint 7 on a net book?

Q. Please help! I am not happy with Windows XP and want to switch over to Linux Mint 7. The problem is, that I have a net book and do not know how to install Linux without a CD-Drive. Can I install it using a pen drive/ external hard drive? Please give me a detailed informatory paragraph with the exact steps.

A. Here is a link to how to install linux mint without a cd drive. You could run mint from the usb or do what they call a frugal install.
Did you check to see if the specs for the netbook are adequate for linux mint, or any other full linux distro?
You may need to use a linux distro that is customized for the netbook. Here ar some links that discuss various distros for the netbook
Good luck

How can I keep my programming lab away from viruses?
Q. I maintain a undergraduate basic computer programming lab.

There are thirty windows PCs. No Internet connections.

Students are allowed to use USB pen drives. So spreading of virus is a common problem. But since Internet is not available, anti-virus software are not used because of the unavailability of frequent update.

Linux is not an option. This is because, we need to run windows-based software.

So what can I do to prevent the spreading of viruses?

A. Disable autorun for USB.

Microsoft also makes a product where all the computers boot from a stable known image on every reboot.

You can also put update detection for many anti-virus programs on a disk and update from that.

How to remove red hat linux and install xp.?
Q. When i install win xp cd in linux it doesnt show up and when i try it by pen drive it doesnt work.

A. You have to boot the Windows CD and the have it delete all the partitions and the tell it to format the hard drive, when it finishes partitioning the hard drive it will install Windows. You don't open the CD in Linux and tell it to install Windows. It does not work that way.

When you wish to use a flash drive when the computer is booting up, in the black screen you have to press the key that will bring up the boot menu and then choose the USB Device if it is bootable.

How to keep my pen drive that I use in Ubuntu safe from Windows viruses?
Q. I use Ubuntu on my computer, but none of my friends do. How do I make sure my pen drive doesn't catch a virus on a Windows PC and transmit it to another Windows PC? Is there any way I can see, on my Ubuntu, if the pen drive has Windows viruses in it?

A. Windows viruses won't recognize the Linux programs, or how to attach to them. Even if they did, Linux would not run the virus, as it will not simply run that Windows code...

Problem with ubuntu Linux usb pen drive installation?

Q. Here is my problem:
I installed ubuntu linux on my laptop using someone's pen drive. But before giving back the pen drive to the person, I copied all the files in the pen drive to one of my hard disks, thinking that if ever I need to reinstall linux I will copy these files to my pen drive and that will install linux once again on my system. But that hasn't happened. My pen drive doesn't boot. What's wrong?

A. You need more than just the files. You need to install a bootloader on the disc. Simply dragging the files to and fro is not enough to make it bootable.

A. Whether you can boot from your USB pen drive or not depends entirely on your motherboard.

Have you set your computer to boot from it in the BIOS? Double check.

Problem with ubuntu Linux usb pen drive installation?

Q. Here is my problem:
I installed ubuntu linux on my laptop using someone's pen drive. But before giving back the pen drive to the person, I copied all the files in the pen drive to one of my hard disks, thinking that if ever I need to reinstall linux I will copy these files to my pen drive and that will install linux once again on my system. But that hasn't happened. My pen drive doesn't boot. What's wrong?

A. You need more than just the files. You need to install a bootloader on the disc. Simply dragging the files to and fro is not enough to make it bootable.

How can I keep my programming lab away from viruses?

Q. I maintain a undergraduate basic computer programming lab.

There are thirty windows PCs. No Internet connections.

Students are allowed to use USB pen drives. So spreading of virus is a common problem. But since Internet is not available, anti-virus software are not used because of the unavailability of frequent update.

Linux is not an option. This is because, we need to run windows-based software.

So what can I do to prevent the spreading of viruses?

A. Disable autorun for USB.

Microsoft also makes a product where all the computers boot from a stable known image on every reboot.

You can also put update detection for many anti-virus programs on a disk and update from that.

Why are some folders in my pen drive not getting displayed in windows xp?
Q. there is a folder containing php and html files and image in my pen drive.. it does not gets displayed in the folder. however it gets copied into the system but still does not appear in the computer.. but gets displayed in Linux.. how do i get them displayed and open them?

A. Hey there,

Make sure the files aren't hidden, you can make your XP desktop view hidden files.

To view hidden files, follow the instructions below:

1. Open "My Documents" (Even if it's not located there).
2. Click "Tools -> Folder Options".
3. Click the "View" tab.
4. Look under the section "Hidden files and folders".
5. Select "Show hidden files and folders" then click "Ok".

If it's not hidden, I'm not too sure how to solve this.
