I Love Arch. I Want To Get Rid Of Ubuntu.
Ok, so my first partition has Ubuntu and GRUB is installed in it's /boot/grub, naturally. I want to use that partition for data as I have no need for Ubuntu after I discovered this amazing distribution. I also have my documents and stuff in there. Is it safe to remove all the directories in my Ubuntu partition except for /boot and /home (which contains my files)? Remove as in: rm -rf <all my dirs except /boot and /home>?

Yes, I would feel safer if grub would be on my root partition (if you don't use boot partition), and not on the one with just data.
I bet you already have /boot/grub on the arch partition as well (since grub is in the base group), so you could just let the part of grub in MBR know that it should be using this and not the ubuntu one. That way it also gets updated along with arch. How to do this (it assumes that grub is in MBR and that you don't have a boot partition):
1. copy over the /boot/grub/menu.lst (or /boot/grub/grub.conf, whichever filename you're using)
2. run 'grub' as root-> you get into its prompt
a. "root (hd0,x)", where 'x' is one less than your arch root partition number (e.g. if it's /dev/sda2, then 'x'=1) (grub should confirm the filesystem you're using)
b. "setup (hd0)"
c. "quit"
Thanks a lot for the info! Also, the only other stuff I need from my Ubuntu partition is that I have a printer set up. How do I backup those configuration files? Where would they be?

I suddenly have a "Bing" screen when I sign onto Firefox---and I want to get rid of it. The support section of Firefox says
1. "From the menu at the top of the Firefox window, seledt Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item."---but I see no "menu item" nor Tools, much less Add-ons.
2. "In the Add-ons window, click on the Extensions panel."---but how do I find the Add-ons window?
3. Find the Bing Bar and Search Helper Extension in the list and click Disable for each of them."---but what and where exactly is that?
At the top of the screen is only a Yahoo icon on the left and to the right of it a search box, "Web Search,", "My Apps," Yellow Pages," "Weather," "Updates," and "Skype." to the right of those there is a green cross saying "Add more apps. to your toolbar" and to the right of that a sort of gear shift looking icon saying "toobar settings."
So, in short, how do I get rid of the Bing screen and how do I access those Tools?
Thanks.To get rid of Bing Search Window..............
Click on View tab / Tools and un-check 'Search' (alias for 'Bing') -

I can no longer get "Tools" or "Options" at the top of my screen. Google and Yahoo toolbars dominate the entire top of the screen. I want to get rid of them and go back to an original screen shot. How?
<u>'''Can't see the Menu Bar'''</u> (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?
Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.
''(~~red:Linux & OSX see~~: [[Menu bar is missing]] )''
<u>''Windows'' Method 1.</u> '''''Hold down''''' the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M then release the key
<u>''Windows'' Method 2.</u> Tap once on the F10 key, while the Menu bar is visible, choose "View > Toolbars", click "Menu Bar" so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
<u>''Windows'' Method 3.</u> Tap once and release the key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose ~~red:V~~iew > ~~red:T~~oolbars and click on ~~red:M~~enu Bar so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed.

My brother **** as admin and i want to get rid of him
my brother doesn't deserve to be the default admin and i want to get rid of this privilege. how do i change my account to the default admin without having to sign in as an admin account or having to put his admin password?
As ZigZag pointed out, only an Administrator can Add another Administrator account or assign administrator privileges.
Maybe ask very nicely for administration privileges ;)

I want to have several web sites open on my screen at the same time, in "boxes" showing the headlines, like I now have on my AOL screen.

Thanks for your helpFirefox 4+ versions use a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> with a Google search bar on it (no internet access needed to load that page).<br />
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home page without the Restore Previous Session button and the snippets then set another page as the home page like www.google.com used in Firefox 3 versions.
You may be seeing a similar ad on the Google site to install Google Chrome.<br />
In that case use the close X on that ad to close that pop-up and it should stay away unless local storage gets cleared. -
i want to get rid of everything in itunes , music, movies etc and start afresh. Ive deleted all old libraries but still there is stuff in iTunes. Please help me start afresh?
Please do not delete any files from the HDD without having a current backup.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you've "deleted all old libraries." Can you explain that?
If all you are wanting to do is empty the iTunes library of all music, video playlists, etc. the easiest way is to quit iTunes and, in the Finder, go to ~/Music/iTunes and simply move the .itdb, .itl and .xml files to the trash. Launch iTunes again and the library will be empty.
You should be prompted to add content, so you can let iTunes scan the HDD if you like. -

Hi,
Currently I have some code that uses a BoxLayout, however I want to get rid of the BoxLayout and just have a layout where I can place any object where I want. Here is the code:
private void buildUI(Container container) {
container.setLayout(new BoxLayout(container,
BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
CoordinateArea theArea = new CoordinateArea(this);
container.add(theArea);
label = new JLabel();
label.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
label.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
resetLabel();
container.add(label);
This is what it looks like:
http://form17.net/Picture-1.gif
The problem is, whenever I add the JButton to the frame, it positions it under the label (for the position of the mouse) due to the BoxLayout.
Basically I want to be able to position the button (and eventually other objects) wherever I want, but still keep the label (for the position of the mouse) on the very bottom. Help would be appreciated.Are you sure you want everything to be a direct child of the frame? It looks like you might want to use BorderLayout for the fixed components, and have your button a child of whatever container you put in the centre.

If you used the Apple ID to buy content, you will need to maintain the ID to update or redownload the content. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another, nor does Apple merge Apple IDs.
