I'm having trouble with my computer not booting and was wondering if someone
would be able to help. I have a laptop that was working fine yesterday morning:
Acer Aspire5742z 64 bit. I partitioned the hard drive and installed Windows 7
in the first partition and Linux in 3 other partitions: / /ho

partitioning here.
You shouldn't really need to do anything else.
Good luck.

Thanks for the input. It looks like installing IPCop is best on a separate
computer.
I have a P3 I could use. I was just wondering how much power it would use to
have another computer running ?
Would using a router give enough protection or would I need a firewall?
Thanks

I would appreciate advice on sending faxes.
Can you recommend devices(models) for sending faxes: fax machine or modem?
Which is a good way to go. I want to use this with Linux.
Can I get a fax machine that I can load a file into to send?
Thanks.

Didn't find anything.
I talked to someone who told me there was no program for nvidia-glx-71,
but there was for other drivers.

Thanks for the help.
I think that support for the nvidia-71 driver is dropped.
I couldn't get the driver from Nvidia's site to work either.
