Hello out there,
I have an Asus Vivobook S400CA with an Intel Core i5 3317U processor. It
has Windows 8 preinstalled. I've been contemplating installing Debian
(latest stable edition) alongside. Has anyone done this successfully? Any
issues I need to be aware? What kind of experience have you

Thanks to several people who provided helpful info I have it working.
I made the following changes:
I added HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa" to /etc/default/rcS and rebooted.
I reconfigured the tzdata package and restarted the ntp service.
It works. I have the same time in both Vista and Debian. Than

It's in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh and /etc/init.d/hwclockfirst.sh,

I had a similar problem once dual booting with WinXP.
It turned out that there was an error when reading or setting the

Check if root can do this:

I'd like to thank all the people who emailed me privately with helpful
suggestions, mostly along the lines of 'Dude! Vista sucks maan!'.
Although I can certainly appreciate the idea that many people want to

Yes. Annoying. And trouble making.

I have a laptop with dual boot Vista and Debian Unstable.
Vista sets the hardware clock to local time.
To compensate for this I have UTC=no in /etc/default/rcS
This setting seems to be ignored. Debian seems to think that the hardware
clock is set to UTC, so in Debian the clock is one hour

Hi,
I have a Dell X300 and I want to dual boot between Sarge and Etch. I
have two drives, /dev/hda that holds Etch (/dev/hda1) and /dev/sda that
holds Sarge (/dev/sda1). Both drives have swap space and grub and fstab
have the correct entries. Grub is installed on the MBR of /dev/hda and

There are 2 things to know :
- Is your hard drive split in 2 with a system partition and a data
partition ? (This is the case for many laptop)
In this case, it is quite simple : you can split your data partition to
install debian in it.
- If not, is your Windows XP partition NTFS ou FAT32 ?
