Also on the page you listed had a link to instructions

How to install archlinux from pendrive/usb?

I downloaded archlinux-2010.05-core-i686.iso.
I unmounted the pendrive.
Would i format the pendrive with ext3/ext4 or fat32 or fat16 format?
After that i would do dd if=archlinux-2010.05-core-i686.iso of=/dev/sda
If i use unetbootin, should i format the pendrive with ext3/ext4 or fat32 or fat16 format?
Has anyone used unetbootin to install archlinux from pendrive/usb?

I did:
dd if=arch.iso of=/dev/sda
But after setting bios boot option to usb and reboot,it's not booting from usb.
What's the problem?
I get the normal grub menu.

Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?

Question
Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?
Main priority is voice activation upgrade. Ideas about how to proceed appreciated!

AFAIK, it's been over three years since a WinXP laptop or desktop PC has been sold; I specifically bought a laptop in June 2008 because it was being clearanced by that retail chain to meet Microsoft's deadline, and got it real cheap. It was tagged for the store manager to purchase, but he let me have it because I exceeded his expectations for the services I performed for his store and thought I deserved it. Anything that wasn't made for Vista-compatibility will be very iffy with Win7, IMO - so that basically rules out anything that was made before like Oct or Nov 2007.
Unless another DNS 11 user happens to see this thread and can verify whether it works in Firefox 6.0 or not, I don't what to recommend except for you doing a web search to see what other DNS / Firefox users have to say about compatibility.

Unable to download and install apps from iTunes store !!!

I am in Bosnia and Herzegovina. When I try to install free or purchase apps from apple iTunes store, i click on the desired app and the window pops up where i need to enter and confirm my data, all goes well until the moment when i need to confirm my details.
Also, since there is no Bosnia and Herzegovina in listed countries (which is really unfair by Apple !!!) i have to use Croatia as my country but when i click confirm data and instead of going to next step and finalizing installation, pop up screen goes black and the only working option left to do is click home button.
I dont know if this issue has to do with the ipad2 i am using at the moment or with the fact that i live in Bosnia and Herzegovina, country not listed in the filling form and therefore i cannot use my address and phone and cc data for shoping or even downloading and installing free apps for my iPad2 ?!?
Could anyone please kindly help me clarify this.
P.S. I am really insulted by the fact that there are some god forsaken countries listed but no Bosnia and Herzegovina. - if it turns out that i cannot get apps for my ipad2 only because i live in B and H, i will return the device and become an ex apple fan !!!
peace all

How to Install ArchLinux from harddriver???

I have downloaded iso image files from Internet. I want to install it from hard driver. How to do it? and where are the vmlinuz and initrd files?

I suppose you can do:
mount -o loop /path_to_.iso /mnt/cdrom
but this would have to be on a secondary HDD otherwise I'm not sure of the outcome, since you would be writing to the same target as your source.
All files you need will be in the iso.

[SOLVED] Install archlinux from a archlinux system -system not booting

Hey there,
I am trying to install a fresh archlinux system from within an existing archlinux installation. -- I really hope to get help here, I am clueless.
Theoretically this could be posted in the newby section but I think my problem is more special and it's not my first archlinux installation at all.
The facts:
I am renting an ovh server (kimsufi.com) and I want to install archlinux without their special ovh features.
The rescue system (debian) don't let me install archlinux (pacstrap error -> "mount: mount point /mnt/dev/pts does not exist"). Same as here -> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1231074
Because of that I install archlinux over the webinterface and then I want to install archlinux on another partition.
The problem:
The archlinux system from ovh is working, it is booting fine. My freshly installed system looks to don't boot at all.
There are no logs in /var/log (no dmesg etc.) so I think that it doesn't past grub.
I am clueless what I can do to get it to boot.
What I have tried...
"Pretty everything" I would say but this doesn't help anyone.
pacman -Syu linux mkinitcpio grub <- to be sure everything is installed.
-- Openssh is installed and configured, network is configured, fstab is correct, openssh and netctl is on autostart with systemctl.
mkinitcpio -p linux <- everything ok
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg <- that's also fine
grub-install --recheck /dev/sda <- no problems so far
That's all, I hope I haven't forgotten anything.
Partitions:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 4096 526335 261120 83 Linux <--- /boot of the ovh system
/dev/sda2 526336 19398655 9436160 83 Linux <--- / of the ovh system
/dev/sda3 * 19398656 20445183 523264 83 Linux <--- /boot of the fresh system
/dev/sda4 20445184 26736639 3145728 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 20447232 26736639 3144704 83 Linux <--- / of the fresh system
The bootflag is ignored because grub is installed into MBR.
Please post any ideas, I don't know what I may have forgotten.

Since it's a server by ovh/kimsufi, I am not able to see what's going on with grub. (I have no idea how to diagnose that problem.)
The grub.cfg seems to be correct.
I tried it again without an extended partition, every partition are primary ones. Still no logs.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 2048 526335 262144 83 Linux <--- /boot of both systems (only grub.cfg changes)
/dev/sda2 526336 19398655 9436160 83 Linux <--- / of the ovh system
/dev/sda3 19398656 25690111 3145728 83 Linux <--- / of the fresh system
At the moment the grub.cfg points to the OVH archlinux, not the freshly installed one.
I have modified that file by hand to OVH archlinux (sda2; UUID changed of course). OVH archlinux boots.
I can run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg with the fresh system in arch-chroot again but it won't help.
But I can still do this and post it here.

Trying to add a network printer. I downloaded and installed driver from manufacturer, but mac still reporting error

I need to install a printer on my Macbook Pro. I downloaded and installed the driver from the manufacturer, Brother MFC 7820N. Then clicked the plus on add printer from System Preferences. I selected the printer I want to add as a nearby printer and the name and location populated.
The printer widget tells me it is looking for software to install. I already installed the software. Then I get an error saying it can't find software on the apple support server. When I try to select software to install, the dialog box is empty, so I can't select the software I downloaded.
I'm dead in the water.

Problem installing ArchLinux from hdd partition

I have a SATA drive mounted on a VIA Epia motherboard, but no CD drive, which is why I install directly from hdd.
Currently I have Zenwalk running, which only has Lilo (no grub even in the repos!!!). I copied to contents of the install ISO to a new ext3 partition and used the following entry in lilo (taken from this guide):
image=/root/tmp/isolinux/vmlinuz
label=ArchInstall
initrd=/root/tmp/isolinux/initrd.img
append="root=/dev/sda4 BOOTMEDIA=cd"
But it doesn't boot properly. It says:
::Initramfs Completed - control passing to kinit
IP-config: no devices to configure
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
kinit: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
kinit: init not found!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init
..and before all that it complains that it doesn't find anything new in /config and /packages, but these directories aren't suppose to exist, I guess, because they don't on the original iso?
Anyways, it looks like it's mounting /dev/sda4, but then dies because the init part isn't found. I had a problem with lilo warning me that the init ram image was too large, but then I added the "large-memory" option to lilo.conf and it stopped complaining.
Thanks for reading,
Benjamin

I found a solution!
Aparently syslinux is very good for booting anything made with isolinux. I think it's pretty universal. So what you do is simply to mount the iso, copy the contents to a fat 16 partition, rename the isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg and then run syslinux on the partition. It's described on this blog:

How do I prevent apps which I've downloaded to my iphone from automatically downloading to my kids ipod touch

How do I prevent apps that I've downloaded to my Iphone from automatically downloading to my kids ipod touch. Also how do I prevent apps which my kid has downloaded to her ipod touch from automatically downloading to my ipad/iphone when I connect to the computer. I manage all through my same itunes account.

When you connect a device to ITunes go to the Apps tab for that device and uncheck "Automatically sync new apps". You will have to do this for each device.

Install archlinux from another linux system...

I have a dedicated server and I want to install archlinux in it.
I have the option to do a netboot to access to my server from the "outside" and I installed debian several times usind debootstrap from the netboot.
I've tried to do the same with arch following this guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … ting_Linux , but I've stumbled upon some problems...
1) I can't copy pacman binaries to the bin folder, since it is read-only
2) when I try to run pacman from its temp folder I get this:
root@rescue:/# /tmp/archlinux/usr/bin/pacman.static -Sy base -r /newarch/
