best way to dual boot with 2 disks?
I originally had a disk dual-booting 2 different versions of Windoze. Then I added a second disk and installed Linux on it. Now after defining where to install Linux, you get a choice which disk to boot from. I said first disk, although it warned me when I did this.

error 21
Is is possible to fix error 21? I pretty much know what I did. I was trying to create a bootable USB stick, and altered the grub settings for my computer rather than the usb stick.

Stop Wi-Fi LED blinking
Hello everyone. Does anyone have a fix when using Fedora 13 (FC13) to allow the Wi-Fi LED on a laptop to be illuminated without blinking once a connection to an access point is established (IOW the way it works in MS Windows)? The fix that I was using with FC11 doesn't work with FC13. For the record I have ... 11 Jul 2010 00:46

RAID1: HDD+SDD -- some benchmarks
Here are some speed results I obtained with a mixed HDD and SDD RAID1. I used a 3 disk setup, but 2 disk should be comparable. Setup: 3-way RAID1 HDD: 5400rpm 500GB/320GB notebook drives (WDC WD5000BEVT, WDC WD3200BEVT, SAMSUNG HM320JI) 37GB partitions in the middle of the dis... 6 Jul 2010 20:02
