why people grumble in changing to linux
recently i got a cd of PCQUEST linux
http://www.pcquest.com/content/linux/default.asp
now i had made to change my os to linux no matter what .
i backed up my hdd and started the installation
its installer was anaconda ( weird name) and i started the install
now it had a disk utility called disk drud. i had a nite mare with the partion ,i created a partion ,it won't take it,ERROR "/ primary not specified ", by god i had to make a 21 partions and delete 20 partions the 21st partion worked .
now the installition moved forward and the installer formatted my disk.it took more the 1 hr to format it ( 40gb) and now it began copying the important files, an hour passed and i was asked to insert the second cd which i did .
another hour passed ,and after that another and another
"6 min left"
i tried to eject the cd ,but it wont respond,i checked the "num lock",it was also not responding.so i restarted and now iam struck witha command called
grub>
and now i don't know what to do????
on the other hand when i installed win 98se it asked me only
the drive to install (only one drive was left) ,serial key ,next....next.....next ,plz wait and whola!!!
if linux was just as simple in installtion then most of the home users might have changed to it by now
won't you say so!!!
