(warning, long post with hopefully good info) Ok fellow newbies, since no one answered my requests for help on this and since this seems to be a common theme with no clear "How to" that I could find on the net I figured I'd post this again So other newbies can avoid my mistakes :P This is basically a "how I did . . .

" that could serve as an example on 2 things: 1) Installing windows AFTER linux is installed 2) fixing the boot system after changing partition tables My specific scenario: I started with Linux/winxp/winme multi boot (rh9) and grub boot loader. win XP screwed up (again) My goals I was tired of reinstalling rh9 every time windows became corrupted so I found a (partially complete/correct) FAQ on how to reinstall grub and keep my linux Where I screwed up: I had a really huge windows partition that was basically wasted space so I went into dos fdisk , blew away the XP partition and made it only 5 gig so I could add different linux flavors later. happy Linux everyone.

How to have animated backrounds on Ubuntu 11.10 using xwinwrap. How do I install ubuntu from usb pen drive. Ubuntu 11.10 - I found a fix! Scripts from Runtime folder are not installing. | electric sheep. After fussing with the instructions and having no luck, I finally figured something out. After compiling wxWidgets 2.9.3, flam3, and Electric Sheep v2.7b33, I was getting a black screen with a white box/square in the center. I left it running and still nothing changed. Also, I had a problem where the preferences were not storing or loading any changes I made. After running electricsheep-preferences from CLI this last time, I noticed it output the following line: "SetInstallation: /usr/local/share/electricsheep/Scripts" So I went to this directory and behold, there was no "Scripts" folder.

To fix this, I went back to the "electricsheep-read-only" folder (which was in my Downloads folder), and snooped around a bit. I copied the "Scripts" folder from here into "/usr/local/share/electricsheep/" and re-ran "electricsheep-preferences". So, bottom line, below is exactly what I did on Ubuntu 11.10 to successfully get the newest Electric Sheep to work on my system.
