Prashant Posted June 25, 2006 Author Posted June 25, 2006 slackware or ubuntu Thanx Buddy!! I have decided to run Slackware Linux.
HerLoss Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 If you're going to be doing a dual boot I recommend GAG as a boot manager. http://gag.sourceforge.net/
Prashant Posted June 27, 2006 Author Posted June 27, 2006 I think that Grub is doing the fine job of dual booting BTW is GAG more feature rich??? and yes one problem, sometimes when I try to mount the FAT32 HDD Slackware just refuses saying that device can't be mounted. --Any reasons why???
HerLoss Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Never used Grub before, but GAG is extremly simple, not much in the way of features. Havnt a clue what your mounting problem could be.
Prashant Posted June 27, 2006 Author Posted June 27, 2006 Ok I have Removed Grub and installed GAG (This all was not that easy) and I think GAG is truly worth appreciation; simple and easy yet powerfull. The mounting problem still persists so I just converted the File system to Resizer FS. Till now all is well.
